Mr. Speaker, once again North American infrastructure has come under threat of terrorism.
Last week the American petroleum industry received a threat to its facilities from a group claiming loyalty to Osama bin Laden. Canadian firms are members of the API. With winter setting in, this is extremely worrisome. If it were carried out, it would have life-threatening consequences for Canadians.
Is the minister aware of these threats? What is the government doing to protect the North American energy sector?
