Mr. Speaker, it is an absolute joy to welcome my hon. colleague from Terra Nova to the House, and there is no doubt he is going to be a tremendous addition and complement to the people's House.
We heard a lot of recent and happy talk from the other side of the House, the government, about oil and gas. However, it is kind of coded. It is shrouded in talk such as “maybe they are going to do it” and “possibly they are going to do it, if it meets certain requirements and stipulations, passes certain loopholes, and after 17 subcommittees, parent committees and overarching committees, they will look at it, examine it, come back and re-evaluate it once again.”
My question is simply this: Is it time for a change so we finally get a government in place that could actually get these projects off the ground and done?
