No one brought this up today, but I'd like to discuss the cancellation of the energy east project. I'm from Calgary, and it had the potential to be a major driver of job creation. It would have meant thousands of jobs for Alberta, Quebec, and regions across the country. I find the mayor of Montreal's remarks absolutely shameful. He celebrated the death of thousands of Canadian jobs that could've been created.
On September 8, the MEI put out a press release on the subject. How would it have affected taxes? According to a survey, 65% of Quebecers would prefer to have Quebec's oil supply come from western Canada than from outside the country. This project had the potential to create thousands of jobs, not just during the construction of the pipeline, but also once it was in operation.
Do you have any comments on that?
