Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Not to belabour the point, but the losses are not just to the whole of Canada through tax revenues.... I want to remind everyone here that places like Merritt, British Columbia—I met with Mayor Neil Menard just last week—stand to earn quite a bit from Trans Mountain in property taxes and a community agreement, and people are very concerned. The Lower Nicola Indian Band has also signed an agreement. In my region, these kinds of things are seen as an excellent way for those communities to diversify and to improve their quality of life.
I understand why Mr. Kmiec has brought this forward. I hope that Liberal members will put the Conservative members to work alongside them towards this nation-building project, so that we can give the information so that this pipeline can be built.
