Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I know the member across said that he is very proud of the government’s investments. I wonder if he would tell this House if he is proud of the government’s $50-million investment in the molten salt nuclear reactor scam in his very own province by Moltex. The company has now gone into insolvency. It is being sold off for $11 million; 55 million taxpayer dollars down the drain. Is that member proud of that investment?”

We are making many investments that will support the energy sector both in Atlantic Canada and across the country.Partly on point
