Madam Speaker, when I hear the word “Atlantic”, I think of Bay du Nord. I think about the fact that the government sometimes alters the boundaries of marine reserves to allow oil exploration and drilling to take place there. When I hear the word “Atlantic”, I think about the financial assistance that Ottawa is providing for further oil exploration. When I hear the word “Atlantic”, unfortunately, I do not think “making progress in fighting climate change”. I think “backsliding”.
