Mr. Speaker, done properly Keystone would generate thousands of jobs and would generate hundreds of millions of dollars. Western Canada, in fact, all of Canada would benefit from the the progressive development of our natural resources. It is something that we as a party have been very strong in terms of supporting, always being cautious with regard to our environment.
It is interesting to contrast the different styles of leadership on the issue. On the one hand, we have the New Democrats who go down to Washington and are down on the oil sands, down in terms of the Keystone pipeline. They do not want it. They want a moratorium put on the oil sands and so forth.
Then we have the Prime Minister, who bypasses Washington and goes to New York, with his line being that we just will not accept no for an answer.
Can the member indicate to the House what the Prime Minister meant when said to President Obama that we just will not accept no for an answer?
