Mr. Chair, Kinder Morgan's response to the finance minister's announcement was that they are not yet in alignment, which means that this scheme the finance minister is cooking up with nine days left is not actually the answer for Kinder Morgan because, of course, the problem was never money. The problem is clarity, certainty, and being able to move ahead when a federal project has been approved under the highest standards and most stringent regulatory regime in the world. The federal Liberals should not have hesitated but acted to assert federal jurisdiction and ensure that the rule of law applies.
The finance minister has made some vague references to other potential investors, or a company or groups of companies they would also indemnify if the colossal loss of Kinder Morgan abandoning the Trans Mountain pipeline were to happen. Could the minister name any investor, or investors, or groups of companies that are interested in taking over the Trans Mountain expansion if Kinder Morgan abandons it as a result of the failure of the Liberals' leadership?
