Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Mr. Speaker, as with most Liberal legislation, when it comes to Bill C-49, an act that would amend the Atlantic accord, the devil is always in the details. This bill is a framework for the development of offshore wind energy in Atlantic Canada, and it is necessary, but it needs t

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, it is ironic that my hon. colleague across the way referenced his masters. I think it is time for the Liberal government to realize that it is the servant and not the master. If these Atlantic Liberal MPs talked to folks in their ridings as I do, they would not need
