It's not contradicting TMX being built right now out in B.C., as you know. We will look at any project in which we can export Canada's natural resources and help our allies increase energy security.
The other big thing is that, when you have energy security, it lowers emissions. The other big one that we all know, because we're all members of Parliament, is affordability and making sure that we tackle that as well. That's an incredibly important thing. This is a huge challenge ahead. As I said, this is our national mission, and I know we don't always agree on it.
I would say this, if I could have one second. Wherever we can, we need to just temper the emotions on this, because there are so many workers, so many families and so many constituents in my riding who would get all worked up about this when, in fact, we have to work together on this. We really do. It is too important. It's even beyond party politics, if you ask me.
I'm delighted with the reaction we've gotten from Premier Smith. She also doesn't believe in talking about just transition. As members of this committee and other committees that I've appeared in front of know, I hate the words “just transition”, because workers hate the words “just transition”. We've been saying “sustainable jobs” for some time. I will do anything to make sure that workers know that, not only are they included in this, they will lead it.
