Mr. Speaker, construction season is upon us, but the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion lays dormant.
As of today, there are no shovels in the ground, no jobs have been created and no community benefits. Gas prices are soaring sky-high and people are hurting. The government spent $4.5 billion to buy a pipeline and now it cannot even guarantee that it will be approved. This is insulting and the constituents do not like to be played for fools.
On what date will construction begin?
