Question Of The Online Services From Government
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Mr. Speaker, at a time when the Conservatives are making cuts to our public services, the
people of Laurentides—Labelle are too often forced to rely on poor-quality online services.
For example, completing an application for employment insurance is becoming increasingly
difficult. The lack of reliable access to high-speed Internet is hampering social and
economic development in my area, and it is the people who are suffering the consequences.
Will the government enact legislation to ensure that all citizens have access to high-quality
Internet services, regardless of where they live?
Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite knows, Service Canada provides options for Canadians
in many different ways, whether that is accessing one of the Service Canada offices within 50
kilometres of their home, accessing it through the Internet or accessing opportunities through
outreach postings throughout the country. We provide service across Canada. Canadians
can even call in at 1-800 O Canada.
