Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, something stood out to me in my colleague's speech. He said that, when this type of negotiation happens in the future, the government would declare its intentions ahead of time. I would simply like to say that the trend in the most recent trade negotiations was to protect Ontario's auto industry and Alberta's oil industry; such is the Canadian way.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I clearly understand my colleague's message that there was good co-operation on this file, particularly when it comes to aluminum. I want to thank all of the members opposite who spoke for their open-mindedness. Something stood out to me in what you said. You said that, in the future—

Emergency Debate  Mr. Speaker, I listened to what my colleague had to say and I thank her for her lucid speech. I think this was the first lucid speech on the environment this evening. I do not know whether she agrees with me that we wasted a good part of the evening discussing an economic project that is not viable and a private company's decision.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, that is not the member's usual place.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I listened closely to my colleague's speech and took some notes. She spoke about our responsibility and the decisions we must take in this House for the next 20, 30 and 40 years. She also spoke about a vision for the future, about future generations and about looming chaos.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague suggested several times that the current situation has absolutely nothing to do with the environment, which may raise some eyebrows. In his speech, he mentioned several times that people may not believe him. I will use the same formula to show him that the current situation has everything to do with the environment.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate both NDP members on their clear and courageous speeches. Indeed, fossil fuels are a massive global problem today. Following his speech, I heard one of my colleagues ask an NDP member what planet he lives on. The real problem is that we all live on the same planet.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I acknowledge Alberta's contribution to the Canadian economy and the development of this country, but at this point, we need to start thinking about getting out of fossil fuels. That is what I meant by what I said.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, what a great question about the energy corridor. During the election campaign I often used the following analogy. To me, the energy corridor project sounds like allowing someone to run their sewer pipe across my land in exchange for running my clothesline across their land.

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I completely understand. I feel for my friends in the west and the troubles they are facing. My colleagues are welcome to listen to the answer. I feel for—

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I feel for people going through hard economic times right now. In politics, there will always be a power dynamic, but it comes down to one basic thing for me. Whenever a member says his or her province has been left out in the cold or has fallen through the cracks in the Canadian federation, I, as an elected representative from Quebec, feel it is my responsibility to repeatedly point out, as I am doing today, that Quebec has been left out in the cold.

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the charming member for Repentigny. I will try to keep a cordial tone, as I have noticed in the last few minutes that there is enormous tension in the House. I hope my Conservative friends will keep the same cordial tone that I will use during this short speech.

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. I agree with practically all his comments about climate warming and the climate emergency. It was a good presentation that unequivocally shows that we are facing a crisis. I would like to ask my colleague the following question: If the Liberals are aware of this climate crisis, why did they buy a pipeline?

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, in her speech, my colleague began by saying that oil was the future of Canada. To me, that future seems bleak. At times I got the impression that she was talking about oil the way we might talk about water, air or agriculture. There is something essential in life and that is the ecosystem we live in.

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Can you be quiet, please? Madam Speaker, I get the impression that Alberta's big problem is that it put all its eggs in one basket, namely, oil. Albertans have never given a thought to economic diversification. Today they are still asking that we—
