Mr. Speaker, we know this member's position: budgets balance themselves and energy projects get to market by themselves.
That said, with respect to Keystone, this is a debate between Canada and the United States, a debate between the president and the American people, the majority of whom are supportive of this project.
Keystone XL would create jobs, strengthen energy security for North America, and the state department was clear that it can be environmentally, sustainably done through Keystone XL.
It is not a question of if, it is a question of when this project will be approved. We will continue to be a strong advocate for responsible resource management.
