Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for your comments about the wildfires in Alberta and your government's action in that regard.
I had a quick question for you about Line 5. Today, Canada's Washington embassy expressed a concern about that potentially being shut down on Thursday. That would threaten, of course, 6,000 jobs in Sarnia, the fuel supply for Quebec and Ontario, and undermine North American energy security, which is more important now than ever. Of course, there are also the billions of dollars in government revenue that support government spending.
I would note that it took over two years until this government seemed to finally listen to Conservatives and invoke the 1977 pipelines treaty for this critical energy corridor, which the Prime Minister did say was non-negotiable.
I don't know if you could give us some insight into this, but if that's the case, why didn't the Prime Minister raise it directly with U.S. President Joe Biden when he was here in March?
