Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if the parliamentary secretary was there when I mentioned this, but before the election I worked as an economist for the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, which represents a large number of oil sands workers.
The Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada is not adamantly opposed to the development, use or transfer of our resources. It wants this to be done responsibly. I accept that the quote she read was from a union. That is part of the debate.
There is a debate going on in Canada right now about whether the oil sands are being developed responsibly. She has her argument and I have another. This is an ongoing debate.
The NDP's position is the most responsible one. As the leader of the NDP in Saskatchewan said, we want to look at the economics of the situation, but we also want to look at the environment and at social development.
We are very proud to support this motion, and we hope that the other parties will start looking at the consequences of the decisions being made.
