Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise as the first Conservative woman to ever serve the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador in the House of Commons.
I was born and raised, laid roots and built a career in Newfoundland and Labrador. Unfortunately, for young people today, building a life in Newfoundland and Labrador is becoming a distant dream. Too many are forced to pack their bags and head elsewhere across Canada. The blame is with the federal government, for implementing policies that block investment and kill major projects that create jobs young people could build a life on.
I have combed over the speech and cannot seem to find any firm commitment for young Newfoundlanders who want to build their lives and stay in the province. Will the Prime Minister commit to reversing the anti-energy Liberal laws, excessive red tape regulation and high taxes that are crushing the dreams of young people in Newfoundland and Labrador?
