Mr. Speaker, this weekend Liberal members attending the convention will be voting on a resolution about adopting a strategy for Atlantic Canada called “Catching a New Wave”.
We do know that for the most part Liberal public policy has really missed the boat when it comes to Atlantic Canada. One component of “Catching a New Wave” is to develop a modern shipbuilding policy that is non-subsidy driven and incentives based such as revising the leasing regulations for Revenue Canada.
My question is for the Minister of Industry. Will the minister be supporting this resolution? If it does pass, will he be ignoring it as he has—
