Thank you very much.
Thank you for being here, minister.
When I was looking over the headlines from the past few days, I saw an article about you, the Prime Minister and the Clerk of the Privy Council, Mr. Sabia.
When it comes to the pipeline between Alberta and British Columbia, I get the feeling that the government is the proponent of that project. I want to state that plainly. I'm a bit on edge about this because once bitten, twice shy. I lived through the whole Trans Mountain expansion project in which the government invested $34 billion.
My question is simple. Can you guarantee today that the federal government will not be the proponent of this new pipeline?
