Thank you.
Minister, in your opening statement, you referred to Canada as an energy superpower, and indeed we ought to be one, but your government, in November 2015, cancelled an existing Pacific pipeline. It was literally one of the first things the cabinet did when elected in 2015.
In 2018, you passed Bill C-69, which precluded any pipeline construction in Canada, and your government presided over a 10-year flight of capital from the energy industry.
In 2025, with the support of the opposition—which supported you because this is what it has come to—you did support extraordinary new powers. Since you won't get rid of the red tape, you have given yourself the power to cherry-pick which projects red tape would not apply to.
The Prime Minister said that new major nation-building projects would be built at speeds unimaginable. I could imagine a pipeline commencing production in, say, a year.
Could you tell me on what date a pipeline will be approved and construction begin?
