I'm going to split my time with my colleague, Ms. Stubbs.
Thank you, both, for being here. I wish we had more time with you.
Mr. Bloomer, I'm going to just ask you this directly. There is a myth that has been talked about a lot over the last six months that no projects were approved; that the NEB is completely broken; that communities haven't been able to be consulted; and that over the last 10 years no pipelines were built.
I find that interesting. I'm from southern Manitoba, Portage—Lisgar. In 2007 we actually applied for a pipeline and then it was built. Many landowners and other people were consulted, and it went through the National Energy Board process. It was approved.
Can you just tell us factually if there were projects that were applied for, that went through the NEB process and were approved, and whether pipelines were built over the last number of years?
