Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to talk about Canada's economy and the importance of pipelines.
The answer on energy east is a simple one. At the time, TransCanada made a business decision over whether to continue with the project.
I would like to take this opportunity to talk to the NDP about our platform on renewable energy and our investments in green energy. We have invested more than $27 billion, while the NDP's 2015 platform called for less than $3 billion. How do those figures compare? We believe that we can improve the environment and grow the economy at the same time.
