Mr. Speaker, Labrador boasts some of the best opportunities in Canada, and we are open for business. Next week, people from all over the country and the world will convene at Happy Valley-Goose Bay to join in Expo Labrador, our premier resource development showcase.
From the newest and greatest energy development projects to new iron ore developments, Labrador's agenda is fairly full. I will be bringing the focus of new infrastructure to Labrador's showcase. There is a need for a railway and a port in Labrador to support the mining industry, and fibre optic technology to support business and communities.
These are all necessary components of a progressive region. I would like to recognize the Labrador North Chamber of Commerce, and in particular Julianne Philpott and Brian Fowlow, for organizing this great event on behalf of all Labradorians.
