Madam Speaker, Teck came to the same conclusion that we did: The project had a bad business case and it had an even worse environmental plan. That is the reality of this situation.
We are debating this issue tonight, but I would prefer that we talk about how we can move forward and come up with a real plan for workers and for communities affected by the ongoing global economic transition by investing in public infrastructure and clean energy and coming up with a new deal for Canadians, building a future that is more sustainable. Right now, Canada is producing 1.7% of global emissions, yet we are only 0.48% of the global population.
Will the member finally give up on another bad idea, the TMX pipeline? It is way over budget, and we could invest that money into clean energy and doing the right thing for those workers and communities. We can move them forward into a low-carbon future. This is an opportunity for this member to join us in doing the right thing.
