Mr. Speaker, the Telegraph-Journal reported today that the Liberal member for Fundy-Royal stated that he and the Minister of Transport felt a ``double duty'' to look after my riding of Saint John because it is not aligned with the government.
I look forward to any help I can receive from the transport minister and from the member for Fundy-Royal in settling the issues I have been raising as the lone opposition MP from Atlantic Canada.
I look forward to their help in reversing base closures that I have spoken out against, as well as any support for my efforts to ensure support for our shipyard and VIA Rail. I look forward to their help in reversing hurtful budget measures brought in by their government against Atlantic Canada.
I will continue to work diligently for the people of Saint John as I always have.
