Madam Speaker, more than 40 years ago, the government established a tax credit to stimulate investment in the Atlantic region, which includes the Maritimes, Gaspé and the Lower St. Lawrence to La Pocatière, but not the North Shore, which also needs to diversify its economy.
Mining is a good activity, but it is cyclical. I wrote to the Minister of Finance, but he took no action.
Why is the government so intent on holding back investment in the North Shore?
