Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for their support, both before and after I brought attention to the uncertainty facing the Bay du Nord project in the House on February 14. Yesterday was a great day for energy workers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and the world with the approval of this project, but the Minister of Natural Resources has delayed the next round of exploration licences by 90 days. This year's seismic program has been defunded by the provincial government. Can the NDP-Liberal minister tell us if these decisions were backroom deals that were made in order to secure approval for Bay du Nord?

Mr. Speaker, there is one person here who approved one billion barrels, and he is on the other side of the House. Reducing emissions by 43% by 2030 means we all need to roll up our sleeves: governments, businesses and citizens. The minister's approval of Bay du Nord sends a very bad message, that it is no big deal. Talk about wishful thinking. The IPCC was clear. We must reduce our oil production and consumption now. By approving it, does he realize that he is contributing to climate warming here and abroad for years and years to come?
