A debate about the Hope Bay mining project in Nunavut that will receive $2 billion in investment and $25 million in federal funding. The Liberals praised the project for creating jobs and involving Inuit partners from the start. Much of the discussion focused on one MP's personal visit to the site and riding.
“I'm trying to take credit for a big mining project. Look at me, I'm a hero! I'll ignore the massive taxpayer subsidies my government threw at it.”
“I'm excited about a big expensive project. I want taxpayers to spend $25 million on wind energy. I think it will create jobs and help Inuit people. Let's burn less diesel fuel in the Arctic.”
