Mr. Speaker, first I would like to congratulate my colleague from Bonaventure—Gaspé—Îles-de-la-Madeleine—Pabok for his presentation aimed at illustrating the problem we have in our region. In the Gaspé and the Acadian peninsulas, the problem is about the same.
I ask my colleague whether he finds it acceptable for the present Prime Minister to accuse the former Conservative government as my predecessor, Doug Young, did by saying that this would be disastrous for New Brunswick. I would like to know what he thinks about this.
As I said earlier to my colleague on the other side of the House, what happened to the Liberals between the time they were in opposition and the day they took office? Something happened to them, and the member, who has more experience than me, can perhaps explain this.
