Full steam neutral

In response to the Platitudes from the Throne, the Opposition leader gets in some good points (childish interruptions edited out):

There was significant discussion in last year’s Throne Speech related to the Lower Churchill development It was stated, and I quote, "Planning to develop our Lower Churchill green energy resource is moving full steam ahead".

Since that time, the Premier has circumnavigated the globe and gotten nowhere with this project. First, there was the intention to put a transmission line through Gros Morne Park, creating a furor in the Province and then dismissing it as nothing but a joke, and then launched a fight, not a negotiation, with the Province of Quebec, over possible transmission when it was your government who failed to buy power transmission capacity a year earlier when it was available for purchase. Now, the Government of New Brunswick is planning to sell their power utility to Hydro-Quebec with possible implications for our Province.

The federal government has still not provided any loan guarantees to this project —

On that last point, wouldn’t a better question be: why on earth is the government, one that pledged to “go it alone” on the so-called Lower Churchill, looking for loan guarantees, or any other help from outside sources, to “go it alone” with?

Like, let’s say, begging and pleading with Hydro-Quebec for them to get involved in Our Dear Go-It-Alone Venture?
