Mr. Speaker, we recognize the difficult times families are going through who depend on the Alberta and Saskatchewan oil sector for their livelihood. Indeed, all Canadians know that we need to be there for each other in times of difficulty.
The number one ask for many years from the oil sector has been to access new markets other than the United States for our oil and gas resources. That was something that 10 years of Conservative governments were unable to do. Now, with the approval and construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, we are finally able to help the folks in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
