The Government of Canada has pointed out that the government revenue increase from TMX will be $46 billion over the course of its construction and the first 20 years. I know the economic impacts of the project were not studied, as Mr. Giroux told the CBC. The whole reason we're doing this project is to have an economic impact, so to not consider that question in any analysis of it, to me, is an oddity of process.
In terms of why the situation is what it is, we missed the window of cheaper construction costs due to delays. I count about 20 lawsuits that were brought forward by various pressure groups for the specific purpose of delaying and making the project more expensive. The end result is that the project has been made more expensive.
