Mr. Speaker, our government remains fully committed to moving forward with the Lower Churchill hydro-electric generation project.
Today's release of the environmental assessment response represents another important milestone. Not only will this project bring important economic benefits all over Atlantic Canada, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will also reaffirm Canada's role as a reliable energy source.
Would the regional minister for Newfoundland and Labrador update this House on today's important announcement in regard to the Lower Churchill project?
