What about Trans Mountain, Mr. Speaker? For the last two years, they said over and over again that their plan would have shovels in the ground by now. The Prime Minister himself said, “Canada has completed the deepest consultations with rights holders ever on a major project in this country”. He claimed that the process brought in “indigenous communities...respects science...[and] gets the social licence”. Well, the court clearly ruled: He failed, failed, failed and failed. Today, there is no Trans Mountain expansion and it has been 20 days without a plan. Why should Canadians believe any word he ever says?
