Mr. Speaker, we know that the first nations along the proposed pipeline's pathway said no. I want the member's opinion on twinning the pipe down to Vancouver and allowing the oil to leave Canada through the port of Vancouver.
Does the member believe the twinning process is an option? Has the member discussed this with the companies involved?
Another question I have revolves around marine protected areas. Does the member support the notion that the government should significantly expand the number of marine protected areas?
We are one of the world's laggards in this area. It is absolutely crucial to protect our marine ecosystems in order for this to happen.
