Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question, I am reminded by my colleague. I would ask if the member could answer that.
It is pretty clear what the Prime Minister said after the meeting with Premier Davis. The Prime Minister's Office said that it “was always intended to compensate hard-working Newfoundlanders and Labradorians for demonstrable losses...; it was never intended to be a blank cheque”.
Here are talking points replacing a defined agreement that was about something else entirely. That is unfortunately the way the current government operates.
