Mr. Speaker, we are in this mess because of public policy.
Let me translate the minister's response. The Nova Scotia economy is at risk and the Liberals do not care. That is what we heard the minister say. That is not good enough because 7,000 jobs depend on the Halifax port. We know that number will grow in the coming years but only if the port authority makes decisions that put the community's interest first.
I ask again, will the minister stop making excuses and get on with his responsibility to help resolve this dispute?
