Mr. Speaker, the Voisey's Bay nickel project has already produced $4.3 billion worth of investment and promises thousands of highly paid permanent jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of resource royalty revenue for Newfoundland and Labrador.
I spent four years in this place listening to this government make commitments to maintain existing regulations once a mining company has invested substantially in a mining project.
My question for the natural resources minister is why is the government threatening the viability of this project by constantly changing the regulation.
