Natural Resources Committee on March 12th, 2026

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

—to help bring the resources to bring stability to Line 5 for exactly the reasons you outlined.

Thank you, and I anticipate your support.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Mrs. Stubbs, there's a point of order. There is a point of order.

[Claude Guay, Liberal, LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, QC]

I asked for a vote, Mr. Chair. Let's please go to a vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Mr. Clerk.

[The Clerk of the Committee, Jean-Luc Plourde]

[Inaudible—Editor]

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Procedurally, colleagues, she did have the floor.

Do you want to wrap up quickly, Mrs. Stubbs? We do have consensus.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I appreciate that, Chair, since I still sometimes am unclear about these rules in this august institution, but I think I'm good.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Colleagues, we've had a good meeting. We have consensus. Do we need a vote? I don't think so. We've had a friendly amendment.

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We'll invite Mr. Ebel. We are agreed.

If there's no other business, we will adjourn. Oh. There's more business.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Yes, there is. Let me get myself sorted out.

Thank you, colleagues, for such a great—

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

I think Mr. Simard put up his hand.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I think you acknowledged me first, though.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Yes, go ahead.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Thank you.

I appreciate that discussion and all the indications of collaboration from all of the members.

I would like to move the motion that I put on notice on March 10. The motion reads:

That, further to its study on Canada’s energy exports, the committee hold additional meetings in relation to the decision of Canadian Natural Resources Limited to defer their $8.25 billion Jackpine Mine expansion due to a lack of certainty around carbon pricing and methane emissions rules, and for the purpose of these meetings, the committee invite the following witnesses:

a) Scott Stauth, President of Canadian Natural Resources Limited,

b) The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources,

c) Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change, and Nature,

d) Dianna De Sousa, CEO of the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce,

e) Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute,

f) Lisa Baiton, President and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Colleagues, there's a motion.

I see Mr. Hogan or Mr. Simard.

[Corey Hogan, Liberal, Calgary Confederation, AB]

He was first.

[Mario Simard, Bloc, Jonquière, QC]

Excuse me, Mr. Chair, but I had my hand up before—

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

I'm sorry. I thought we had started again.

Go ahead, Mr. Simard.

[Mario Simard, Bloc, Jonquière, QC]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I think there's less consensus on this motion. So I would be ready to vote right away. Let's do it right now.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Mr. Chair, I think—

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

Colleagues, procedurally, if someone wants to speak, they are allowed to speak. You can't just call the vote.

Is that correct, Mr. Clerk?

[The Clerk]

In the House, there's no calling the question.

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

That's right.

[Claude Guay, Liberal, LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, QC]

Shall we move to adjourn?

[The Chair, Liberal, Terry Duguid]

A motion to adjourn is always in order.

[An hon. member]

Mario, move to adjourn.
