Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Industry.
In the 1960s the province of Newfoundland was refused the right to build power lines through Quebec to transfer power to New England. Newfoundland is now forced to sell its power to Quebec at 1969 prices, costing Newfoundland $800 million a year. This amounts to an interprovincial trade barrier, something the Liberal red book claims the government will eliminate.
Does the Minister of Industry believe that the people of Labrador should be able to enjoy the benefits of the free flow of trade?
