Madam Speaker, it is important to acknowledge the importance of the price of oil in many of the decisions that are being made with regard to the marketplace.
The last question was interesting, and my question is based on it. The member mentioned that oil goes through the United States, where it is then sent back up north at an increased value. This is one of the reasons the government approved a pipeline to take oil to the coast.
Does my colleague from the New Democratic Party agree that when we talk about resource development, the economy, the environment or indigenous issues, we have to look at the broader picture? The economy and the environment do, in fact, go hand in hand, and it is important for us to consult.
