Mr. Speaker, on the morning of this past September 12, Dwayne, Leonard, Brian and Tim left Fleur de Lys harbour for a day of cod fishing, like so many others along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador that day. Little did they know that three of them would not return alive, including Tim, who is still missing. While the sea gives so much to sustain us, words from a song by the band Simani, who often played in Fleur de Lys, sum it up: And the Newfoundland story of loss to the sea,Was told as so often before. I personally knew most of the boys and their families, as did many on the Baie Verte Peninsula, where the hurt from this tragedy will linger for years to come. I give a special thanks to those involved in the search and rescue efforts. I express condolences on behalf of the House of Commons to the families of Leonard Walsh, Brian Walsh and Tim Shea. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and with Dwayne Barrett, the sole survivor.

In the last eight years, Atlantic Liberal MPs voted 23 times in support of the carbon tax. Will these Atlantic Liberal MPs vote for our Conservative motion to axe the tax, or will they follow their master?

Mr. Speaker, this summer I had the privilege of spending some time with some of the hard-working people of Newfoundland and Labrador. I can tell colleagues what they need the most: a well-paying job at home for the incredibly skilled, incredibly hard-working people of that province. That is what our green plan will provide. Newfoundland and Labrador is going to become the hydrogen capital of the world and the wind power capital of the world. The clean nickel from Voisey's Bay will power the Northvolt battery plant in Montreal. That is our—
