Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the member for Burin—St. George's. He indicated that the industry minister refused to meet with the association and the shipbuilding industry. The minister reported to the House once before that he met with the shipbuilding association and the industry executives from New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.
Rather than trying to mislead the Canadian public, the member should indicate the minister reported to the House that he had met with them. The member's statement is totally incorrect. As an hon. member he should withdraw it and insert that the minister met with the association and executives from New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia last March.
