Mr. Speaker, the natural resources minister has said that Keystone XL pipeline is not that important, that the Liberals are more focused on getting oil to Asian markets. I guess his Liberal colleagues did not get the memo. Two of his own MPs from British Columbia have now said that the government should not support Kinder Morgan pipeline, no matter what.
The minister's advisory panel delayed the decision on the pipeline by seven months, which was supposedly done to foster social licence.
If the minister's panel did not even convince Liberal MPs to accept the science, how is it anything but a complete waste of time and money?
