Mr. Speaker, I too have spoken to a number of the member's constituents who used to work in Alberta in the oil patch. Their hope was that the government would get out of the way and approve a pipeline.
This budget does nothing for those unemployed people from the riding of Fredericton who used to fly out to Alberta every week and had a good quality of life. They are not going to benefit from any kind of tax break, because they are unemployed.
That particular member could push on behalf of his constituents to get that pipeline built and get the government out of the way. Then his constituents would be back working, not sitting in Fredericton with hope.
