BC’s highest ranking Conservative MP is defending controverial cuts to marine services.
Heritage Minister James Moore says his government would never make a decision putting public safety in danger.
“Keep in mind that British Columbians –we have more resources on the West Coast now than we did when we formed government, we have new harbour craft coming online next year, and because we’re changing things doesn’t mean things are being jeopardized”
Moore says the federal government will do regular assessments to reaffirm the cuts aren’t putting safety at risk.
He says the closure of the coast guard station and marine communications centres was done with broad consultation.
