Mr. Speaker, I am hearing a concern about diplomatic tone. The fact of the matter is that we have had very good discussions with the provincial government.
When those members talk about a deplorable attitude and they accuse us of not having a diplomatic attitude, I do not know how they can suggest that. How could they possibly come up with that? It really is amazing.
The fact of the matter is Atlantic Canadians rejected, not their own provincial governments, that is not what I am talking about. They rejected the notion of that party, which has been saying that they have in Atlantic Canada a defeatist attitude.
In the interests of Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada in general, it is very clear to me that the House should reject what really is a nasty, negative, deplorable motion.
