Mr. Speaker, perhaps the best advice I could give the hon. member on this matter comes from the premier of Quebec in a letter he wrote to Premier Klein of Alberta in which he said we had agreed that the issues surrounding the transmission of natural gas are best left to the market and to the regulatory agencies to decide. The National Energy Board has provided advice. This government is reviewing the advice, but no decision has been made.
In the House of Commons on December 10th, 1997. See this statement in context.
