Mr. Speaker, since 2015, 5,500 jobs have been lost in the Newfoundland and Labrador offshore oil and gas industry. The Bay du Nord project has been highly anticipated in my province for quite some time. This project represents a $12-billion investment in our offshore and $25 billion in revenues over the life of the project. After 1,285 days of endless red tape, can the environment minister tell us when the Bay du Nord project will be approved?

Right on, Mr. Speaker. That is about what I was expecting. The government may be split over supporting this project, but the people of Newfoundland and Labrador are very united, with a weekend poll showing 85% support. After years of arduous environmental assessment, the Environmental Assessment Agency has given a green light to Bay du Nord. Will the minister respect the authority of the Environmental Assessment Agency and approve the Bay Du Nord project, yes or no?
