He may have voted for the Tories’ massive budget bill, but one Conservative MP says he still has concerns over cuts to the coast guard.
In a statement released yesterday, Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney repeats his earlier concerns over the downsizing of marine communication centres along the coast, as well as the closure of the Kitsilano coast guard base.
Lunney writes he’s met with “responsible authorities” in Ottawa, looking for more workable solutions.
His stance isn’t getting sympathy from the opposition though.
In the House of Commons, Lunney was slammed by NDP critic Fin Donnelly, who argues Lunney is trying to pass the buck to bureaucrats , while then ultimately voting for the legislation, which will enact those cuts.
