Mr. Speaker, Muskrat Falls is an economic disaster, an environmental disaster, and an insult to Quebec.
The premier of Newfoundland behind the project even described it as an opportunity to declare independence from the yoke of Quebec. All members across party lines, except for the Bloc Québécois, voted in favour of this project, despite two unanimous motions by the Quebec National Assembly denouncing this scandalous attempt to create unfair competition for Hydro-Québec.
Quebeckers paid for their electricity network themselves. How can anyone justify asking them to fork out billions of dollars to help their competitor?
