I, and lots of others, told Peter that if he wants to really help Nova Scotia, he should stay here and fix problems with the federal government,

I don't think it helps the Liberals very much when one of the people who's supposed to be their cleanest minister gets wrapped up in something this ugly.

Suddenly on the eve of an election, all of a sudden the minister and the Liberal party gets religion on tax relief for Canadians ... It looks a lot like you're just trying to change the channel.

They just want to change the channel.

I'll believe it when I see it,

I love Nova Scotians, ... but we are not quite prepared to give Peter up and we need him in the house.
