I just want to come back to what my colleague Mr. Angus said earlier. Because I don't drive a Maserati but rather a Hyundai, which isn't quite as sexy, I clearly understand and share Mr. Angus's analysis.
The PBO came to tell us not only that a significant amount of money will never be recovered and that market conditions will make any attempt by the government to recover a portion of its investment extremely difficult, but also that as a consequence, we'll be beholden to oil and gas for 40 years.
I'd also like to quickly and simply remind you of the figures provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or IPCC. They told us that, if we want to keep the rise in average temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius, we need to reduce our oil consumption by 62%, depending on new technologies such as carbon capture and sequestration. Otherwise, the IPCC says that we need to reduce our oil consumption by 70%, which I don't think is consistent with the use of a pipeline over a 40‑year period.
For all those reasons, I believe we must hold that debate in the House.
