Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for that response. Canadians need to know that we all are united in our response.
There is another issue of national importance. As we know, the Trans Mountain pipeline spilled 4,800 litres of oil just two days before the government announced its intention of buying out the pipeline. The spill risks are very real, and there is no way to deal with a spill at this time.
It was also just reported that two indigenous nations in British Columbia are actually opposed to the pipeline project but felt they had no choice but to sign letters of support.
Will the government admit to the House today that it failed in its duty to consult first nations?
