While appearing before the House of Commons Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee on Aug. 8, Philippe Dufresne said he first learned about the RCMP’s use of the software from the media and that his office was not consulted about its potential privacy risks.

If you thought that it was only the Conservatives accusing the Liberal Marco Mendicino of lying when it comes to invoking the Emergencies Act think again.  The leader of the Bloc Quebecois Yves-François Blanchet also accuses Marco Mendicino of citing falsehoods to invoke the Emergencies Act.

According to the federal government, a fraction of the passports that are normally filed in a year were filed over two years of COVID-19, so during the pandemic, passport staff were given other work. Now, Service Canada is trying to shift that workload elsewhere, hire more staff and open more access points, but has no idea when the backlogs will be resolved.

So what’s behind all of the passport delays?

According to Blacklock’s Reporter many of Service Canada’s employees are still working from home:
“Of 26,136 Service Canada’s employees that handles passport applications, a total 18,362 are working from home.”

Passport offices have been experiencing staffing shortages.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter the agency that runs passport offices suspended hundreds of staff under vaccinate mandates.

Passport Delays Are So Bad The Provincial Police are Having to Clean Up The Liberal Federal Government’s Mess

Passport Delays Are So Bad Even the Bloc are Expressing Their Concern to the Liberals in the HOC. The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices, and they’re not just managing people’s anger. They’re answering questions on behalf of federal employees.

“The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices.”

“To get a passport, people have to bring their tent and spend the night on the sidewalk that’s happening here in Canada, a G7 country.”

 

Citizens spent the weekend seeing for themselves that no one from the federal government was there at work to help.

“Citizens I camped out all weekend in front of Service Canada offices to try to get a passport. In spite of the wind and the rain, they stayed outside all weekend trying to access this service.”

But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.

Leslyn Lewis said in the House of Commons today that Canadian farmers keep getting attached by this Liberal Government. “Canadian farmers have been feeding us for generations. They deserve our things, but instead they keep getting attacked by this liberal government.”
