Okay. Mr. Albas wants my question.
I'll say this, and this is just more of a statement than anything. I think it's important for this committee to clearly evaluate and assess why investments are made. Something is very disturbing about this one.
In all seriousness—you can laugh over there—there's this trope that nothing can happen in Atlantic Canada unless you know someone, and it really bothers me. It bothers me that you've decided to do this.
Now, on the merits, you can do whatever you want.
Mr. Albas can squint and pretend he's a professor of high order. I take this seriously.
You can evaluate, and you can certainly determine if something was offside here, but this is a major project that, on its merits, makes sense. It's beginning to look like a Facebook post, where the trolls come out, make their posts and say, “Yeah, but....” “Yeah, but....” “Yeah, but....” I think that, if any Canadians and, in particular, any anti-Canadians are watching this today, they know exactly what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
