Mr. Speaker, of all the strange, contradictory, and perhaps even bizarre things I have heard in the House this week, one of strangest and most concerning things I heard was a minister saying yesterday that the other provinces in Canada would resent supporting Newfoundland as it pursued what was agreed to by the Conservative government as part of this deal.
I was curious as to whether the member was aware of any premier, any province, any member of Confederation, or any individual who has said that Newfoundland does not deserve to be honoured and respected in the way he had spoken to, whether the minister is mistaken or is trying to create a fight among the provinces simply to cover the tracks of what quite clearly you describe as a double-cross against your province.
