Mr. Speaker, the application to build the energy east pipeline has not yet been lodged with the regulator, the National Energy Board.
There will be many months of public discussion when the hon. member will be encouraged to appear in front of the board, to write a letter, to visit a website, to have conversations with the community about her attitude about whether or not that pipeline is in the national interest. To ask the government to offer an opinion before it is before the regulator is irresponsible.
