Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd just like to interrupt the witness here for a moment. I would like to put up a notice of motion:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study on the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and the potential loss of the Line 5 pipeline in northern and Indigenous communities, that the study take into account but not be limited to the impact on Indigenous businesses, jobs, economic prosperity, self-determination, and mutual benefit agreements as well as the efforts of the federal government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that the committee report its findings to the House.
I just wanted to get that on the record for a notice of motion. I hope to be discussing that at a future committee meeting.
I know this is something very pertinent for the first nations communities in my area. Many of them work in the oil patch and are very much concerned about their jobs. They've been in tenuous employment situations for the last five years, and now, with news around the Keystone XL pipeline and also the potential around Line 5, they're looking forward to having this committee do a study on that as well. I look forward to having future discussions at this committee.
Thank you for your indulgence, Mr. Chair. I look forward to discussion at a future committee meeting.
