Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's enthusiasm.
The 2020 deadline was chosen arbitrarily by the previous government. We are not going to throw a date around like that. We are going to be responsible about this.
The selected company will be the one to give us a date. When we know what company we will be dealing with, we will have more details and we will be able to move forward.
I want to assure my colleague that this project is just as important to the Government of Canada as it is to him. We are moving forward as quickly as possible, but in a responsible manner that takes into account the best interests of Canadians.
