Madam Speaker, I think we know there are two things going on here: The Conservative Party is against clean energy and the Conservative Party is against Atlantic Canadians. It is very simple.
Let me bring members back to 2007. In 2007, a Conservative member defended Atlantic Canada by voting against the budget. It was my friend Bill Casey. What happened to him? The Conservatives were going to rip apart the Atlantic Accord, so they threw him out of the party.
This is about sustainable jobs for Atlantic Canadians. The premiers want it and the people want it. It is our job to deliver for them.
Can the minister share his thoughts about the trillion dollars to be had in the next 16 years?
