Mr. Chair, of course, and that is what I have been saying repeatedly. We will not go ahead with any project unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment, but if it is, we will certainly go ahead, and we will, therefore, create the million jobs in the next 25 years, the $3 trillion to $4 trillion in economic activity and the hundreds of billions of dollars to support social programs. We believe that our resources can be developed responsibly and we intend to pursue that objective in the interests of Canadian prosperity and security.
