Madam Speaker, the minister spoke about some very important issues surrounding this debate, which is that the 20 councils of the Wet'suwet'en nation have approved this pipeline. The majority of people within these first nations communities have approved the pipeline. The majority of hereditary chiefs have approved the pipeline. They have done that because of the prosperity that it can create. It speaks to the very issue of autonomy. It speaks to the very issue of reconciliation.
Would the minister not agree that this is precisely what this country wants and desires: a path to move on to? Would the minister not also agree that the illegal blockades that are going on in this country and are damaging the economy of this country need to stop, and that the issues of the Wet'suwet'en people need to be acknowledged and moved forward?
