We understand how important this is. On Monday, we had a vote on establishing a special committee, the Canada-U.S. committee, for which Line 5 is one of the main topics, along with other topics, as we all know, that they will be dealing with at that committee, so I think that by studying this at this committee, we would just be duplicating their work.
Even though I'm certainly in favour.... This is why I voted in favour of proceeding with the Canada-U.S. committee, the special committee, given the relationship between Canada and the U.S. and how tied we are on energy, minerals and metals as well. So that's my position. I agree that this is extremely important. There is a committee that has been set up; there was a vote on this on Monday.
I will be voting against this motion, but I want to remind my colleagues from the Conservatives who brought this forward that I voted for the motion to create the special committee.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
