Mr. Speaker, there have been tough questions today, particularly this one. I want to thank the member for Peterborough for that timely question.
Last week I promoted Canada as a reliable and safe energy partner at the North American Energy Summit, and in fact I pre-empted that in Rome.
Recent international events remind us that Canada has an important role to play in assisting our partners, countries around the world, in achieving energy security. Our energy products will remain a significant part of the global energy mix.
Our government remains committed to responsible resource development.
I thank my peer for that important question.
