Mr. Speaker, Claims · 103 wordsI am very proud to have been raised in a small fishing community on P.E.I. The fishing harbour is the centre of the community. Last week, I was in another fishing community, Miminegash, to announce a major reconstruction of the fishing harbour, the largest project ever announced for this coastal community.¹ For too many years, small craft harbours, the economic engines of coastal communities, have been underfunded by governments. I will express some disappointment that most members of the Conservative opposition, including those representing fishing communities, voted against the nearly $1-billion budget allocation in April, the largest budget ever for small craft harbours.² Thanks · 24 wordsI want to express my thanks to the Prime Minister and my Atlantic caucus colleagues, who lobbied for and supported this major budget allocation.Thanks Claims · 16 wordsThe Prime Minister recognized the economic value of the fishing sector, and his support was invaluable.
