Mr. Speaker, I have got them excited now. They are awake again. I am pleased I woke them up.
How about the GST rebate? How about child care, which they are not interested in of course? How about funding to clean up Halifax harbour and $290 million to clean up the tar ponds in Sydney? Are those the kinds of measures that they are against?
We have shown our commitment to Nova Scotia in each of these instances. The deal on the offshore will be no different.
This commitment is much stronger than the members on that side have shown and Atlantic Canadians know it. We saw that in the last election. Atlantic Canadians rejected their regressive policies in the last election.
They know them well. They know who these guys are. They have listened for the past decade to that party across the way. They have heard the members of that party. They have not forgotten what they have said all along. They are braying now because of how much it hurt them during the election to have Atlantic Canadians actually understanding what they are really all about over there. They rejected the Conservatives' inadequate offshore offer in the last election.
