Mr. Speaker, after eight years in this place, I thought that nothing could surprise me, but the Liberals can.
The National Energy Board said in its report that the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion does not respect indigenous rights, that it constitutes a danger to our environment and that it will affect an endangered species. However, the Liberals are going to move forward with the project anyway, on the pretext that it is in the national interest.
Are we to understand that the Liberals believe that protecting our environment and respecting first nations is not in the national interest?
