I'm sorry, but I've heard so much today that is unsubstantiated, incorrect and unnecessary at this table in dealing with this bill.
Minister, I want to go back, because I know the bill is here because these provinces want to be leaders in the clean energy of Canada. They want to be leaders in the world in offshore wind, and I want to give them every opportunity to do that. I want to get back to the real crux of what we're dealing with here, and that is sustaining economies in this country and leading the world in green energy.
Can you tell us, without the rhetoric, without the interruptions, about how Bill C-49 will benefit the provinces in Atlantic Canada and about the real difference it is going to make to us as a country to move forward with it? I ask you that, Minister, in all sincerity, because I've heard so much today that is unnecessary at this table while we deal with a bill that is fundamentally important to the livelihoods of people in Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia.
