Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just contradicted his own minister.
Let us look at the National Energy Board for a minute. This is an industry-friendly body that very recently gave in to pressure from the big oil companies to relax the regulations, to loosen the regulations on drilling in the Beaufort Sea. Essentially the companies now get to decide what technologies they use, what systems they bring forward, what plans they have. There is no regulation of any serious nature left.
Can the Prime Minister explain to Canadians what the Conservatives are doing to toughen up the rules, not loosen them?
