Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Yesterday was a great day for Newfoundland and, indeed, all of Canada as Hibernia oil flowed for the first time. A new industry was born which will produce billions of dollars for the Government of Canada.
On October 18, 1994 the Prime Minister stated in the House in response to a question on Hibernia financing “If we had to do it all over again, perhaps we should have not gone ahead”.
Will the Prime Minister now acknowledge that the Hibernia project was a great project for all the people of Canada?
