Minister, over previous Conservative governments, a number of the economic bodies responsible for development in Atlantic Canada saw significant cutbacks in their budgets. Since you've been minister, we've been able to continue to invest and to add investment opportunities with a suite of programs for which you are responsible as minister.

It's important that all regions of the country, not just particular areas, have an opportunity to grow.
