Mr. Speaker, the northern gateway pipeline is being reviewed by an independent panel that will base its determination on science, not on partisanship. The review is an open process where interested parties, including aboriginal groups, can express their views.
The member across is a former member of the NDP. They seem to be insistent on injecting partisan politics into a regulatory process. We do not want that to happen.
It has been clear from the discussions over the Keystone pipeline that we need to diversify our exports as much as possible, and as soon as we can, while protecting the economy and the environment.
