Mr. Speaker, I stand to present a petition from residents of my riding of Guelph who wish to draw attention to the northern gateway pipeline. Given the substantial environmental risk associated with the pipeline, the petitioners request that the Government of Canada assume a neutral position and remove its unqualified support for the development of the pipeline, which would allow for a full, fair and impartial assessment of the pipeline by the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency so that a proper evidence-based decision can be made at the appropriate time.
In the House of Commons on February 4th, 2013. See this statement in context.
