Mr. Speaker, let us be clear about one thing. This $4.5 billion handout of taxpayers' money will not build one inch of new pipeline. In fact, every penny will go into the pockets of a Texas oil company, which it will then take to build pipelines outside of Canada in competition with our industry.
How did we go from that company wanting to invest $7 billion in Canada to sending $4 billion of taxpayers' money out of this country?
