Mr. Speaker, we respect the right of Canadians to peaceful protest; however, the rule of law must be followed.
This project will undergo a rigorous science- and fact-based review by the National Energy Board. The board must hear from those who are directly affected by a proposed project and may choose to hear from those with relevant expertise on the project.
Again, we have been clear: projects will only proceed if they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.
