Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway has been a strong advocate for this legislation, saying it’s an important milestone for Atlantic Canada, Nova Scotia, Northeastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton.
Kelloway says local municipalities, First Nations communities and unions in his riding and the province have been supportive of this initiative.
He says adding offshore wind and green hydrogren will grow the economy, renewable energy and creating jobs.
