Mr. Speaker, that is such a complete and utter distortion of truth on what was said in committee that it is hardly worth answering.
The reality is that this government has taken more steps in recent days to help Atlantic Canadians stay in their region, work in their region and to raise families in their region. That is the record of the Conservative government in the short time it has been in office, unlike the record opposite that left Atlantic Canadians with little choice but to seek employment in other regions.
