QUESTION MORE: Conservative Government Budget Cuts

The Conservative Government inherited a surplus and created a record deficit. They are asking for Canadians to tighten their belts in order to compensate for their spending spree and corporate tax cuts. Canadians named health care as their number one Federal Election issue, yet, the Conservatives have chosen to cut Health Care Transfers and abandon their health care responsibilities. Canadians care about the environment but the Conservatives are cutting many jobs at Environment Canada which include climate change research and toxic chemical researchers positions, jobs that produce scientific facts that may not favour the oil sands pipeline expansions. The Finance Minister has mentioned possible cuts to the CPP. The Conservatives cut many jobs at Service Canada processing centres and reduced the number of locations causing Canadians to wait longer for EI payments. Taxpayers want their money to spent on things all Canadians need, want and use.
