Mr. Speaker, certainly the oil and gas sector in Newfoundland and Labrador, just as in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, is an important part of our economy. As we move forward, we are focused on ensuring that we are developing our regional economies in a manner that will promote prosperity and economic opportunity for all folks who live in those regions of the country. As the hon. member knows, the Bay du Nord project is subject to an environmental assessment, which will continue. We will eventually come to a decision, but we are certainly focused on ensuring that we are working collaboratively with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member would be aware, we are working actively with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador on moving forward with respect to economic opportunities that would benefit Newfoundland and Labradorian families, just as we are doing in provinces and territories across the country. We will continue to work collaboratively with Premier Furey, with the oil and gas industry, with the offshore wind industry and other opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador to increase and ensure prosperity for its citizens going forward.
