Mr. Speaker, I found my colleague's remarks very interesting in light of the need to have some defined policy on this important issue particularly for the Atlantic provinces.
I know that my colleague was born and raised in the Atlantic provinces and has roots there and visits there regularly. Would the member expand on what he sees the need would be for government policy and public policy that would assist the industries in Atlantic Canada in growing and in providing the jobs and income that are needed in that part of the country?
