Thank you for the question.
Look, Canada faces a choice. Either we can look to lead the global race to net zero, building on areas of comparative advantage or areas where we can reasonably develop comparative advantage in the world, or we can let it pass us by with all of the attendant consequences of being a late mover. We can lead or we can bury our heads in the sand, which is what my Conservative colleagues clearly seem to want to do.
In this context, the development of clean energy grids, which this will enable, is really important. The development of long-term energy that can be exported around the world is really important, and this will enable that as well. It will create thousands of jobs, just like at the battery plants, the electric vehicle facilities, the net-zero petrochemical facility and the E-One Moli battery facility in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. It will create an enormous number of jobs. It will create economic prosperity for communities across both provinces. It is why both the Premier of Nova Scotia and the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador strongly support this bill, which they helped to negotiate.
