I sure can.
Before doing that, I just want to get two points quickly on the record. One is that, when it comes to pipelines, it is important to be very clear that it was a Liberal government and not a Conservative government that got TMX built. That pipeline is up and running at a time when we really need it, when we need to have a way to get our oil to market that does not just go through the United States. That pipeline is going to deliver $1.25 billion in revenue directly to the federal government, so let's be clear—that is a reality.
Let's also be clear that we are on the brink of some huge LNG projects coming online, such as Kitimat, Cedar and Woodfibre, including major indigenous participation.
When it comes to indigenous consultation, the team members here—particularly our public servants—have been doing a great job. In the development of this legislation, 66 indigenous groups were consulted or worked with, and now they are up to 80. That is real work that has been done and is being done.
Labour mobility, which I love, is tremendously important. It's going to be one of the big contributors to those huge productivity gains in bringing down prices and to the huge overall GDP gains. As I said in my comments—I think, to Mr. Albas—the principal impediments to labour mobility are not at a federal level. They are at a provincial level, but I am hugely encouraged by the work the provinces are doing. This legislation is about the federal government doing our share so that we can say to our provincial colleagues, “Let's get this done.”
I want to emphasize two aspects. One is the idea of mutual recognition. It is incredibly powerful. This is how Australia created free trade within Australia—the principle that we should trust each other. If someone has a credential in one province, other provinces should say, “You know what? I trust the great people of Ontario”—Chi, where you and I are MPs—“to do a good job in deciding who can be a dental hygienist, and that dental hygienist should be good enough to work in Nova Scotia.” That is the core principle.
I want to add one other thing that is connected to labour mobility, and that is foreign credential recognition. If we can get to a space—and we are moving there—where we have mutual recognition of credentials across Canada, that will be very helpful in foreign credential recognition. Both those things will make our economy stronger and also make life better for people. I know all of us have constituents who are frustrated that they're not able to work. It takes too long when you move around Canada.
