Mr. Speaker, the premier of Nova Scotia now agrees with every Nova Scotian, except perhaps two, that the Conservative government cannot be trusted.
The Atlantic accord has been cast aside and no one is standing up for Nova Scotia at the cabinet table. The finance minister mocks Atlantic Canadians when he denies breaking the promise, when he denies side deals and when he speaks of better choices.
Nova Scotians want what they had. They want what they had signed in 2005 and what was killed in 2007.
Will the minister stop insulting Nova Scotians with false choices and give us the only choice we want? Give us back the Atlantic accord.
