For at least 10 years, Canada has been the place where good projects go to die. Again, we're optimistic that under the new leadership, those dark days are behind us.
The surest signal that can be sent to the market is eliminating legislation that's very clearly antiquated or was erroneous in the first place. Bill C-69 very clearly and absolutely needs to be repealed. We have such things as a gender-based analysis on the construction of a pipeline. In speaking with CEOs of pipeline companies, I can say they do not understand exactly what that is. We have a ban on tankers and believe the private sector will step up to build a $35-billion or $40-billion pipeline that is, as some have labelled it, a pipeline to nowhere.
There are very easy steps that I hope, for the benefit of all Canadians in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta and from coast to coast, very simple decisions can be made on, and I hope they will be made on an expedited basis. This still impairs the desire of investors to invest in this country and it sends a negative signal.
