Mr. Speaker, what becomes more and more evident is that that party distorts my words because it will not keep its own words.
The Prime Minister promised the same deal on offshore royalties to Nova Scotia during the election. He said, “If we do a deal with Newfoundland and Labrador, that same proposal ought to be made to Nova Scotia”. When the Prime Minister made that commitment, there was no mention of a time limit and the Premiers of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador say no such agreement was made.
Will the Prime Minister confirm that on the time limit issue, Premier Hamm and Premier Williams are telling the truth?
