Mr. Speaker, I could make the same argument that we would make in the province of Newfoundland when we talk about bulk exports. We have many requirements for the funding of health and education. Where do our new dollars come from? They would come from the development of our resources including the proper development of our water supply.
The government seemed to be on our side when it responded to questions I asked earlier. The Prime Minister then came back after his chat with the president of the United States and was very wishy-washy about it.
We cannot afford to export bulk anything unless we maximize every job possible in that resource. Does the member not believe that it is time that we salt down a deal to stop the export of freshwater in the legislation?
