Mr. Speaker, some members of the House believe the answer is the Leap Manifesto, and the only choice for the future is to leave it in the ground. Others believe that the NDP should stand with Canadians trying to get back to work. These projects will create thousands of well-paying, middle-class jobs.
There is not a country in the world that would find 200 billion barrels of oil and leave it in the ground while there are markets for it.
Our decisions on major projects reflect a balanced approach that will create prosperity while we seek to protect the environment we cherish.
