Mr. Speaker, the Keystone pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in economic growth in the United States and in Canada.
This project is the largest shovel-ready project in the United States. It is state of the art and environmentally sound. It is time to deliver Canadian oil to other markets around the world. The northern gateway pipeline to the west coast is a stable, secure and ethical pipeline to deliver energy to the world from the most socially progressive and environmentally sound oil producers in the world.
I thank and salute Suncor, Syncrude, Albian Sands, Nexen, and Canadian Natural Resources Limited.
We are a trading nation in a global economy. We need to seize these opportunities to create more jobs and a better quality of life for all Canadians.
