Mr. Speaker, I know that this debate is almost finished, but I will continue to speak in French since I am addressing my Bloc colleagues.
This is not the Bloc that I remember. I was a child of Bill 101 and a member from the west. I experienced the referendums and I saw an entire generation of young people leave Quebec to find work out west. I am a proud Albertan. I listened to the Bloc and I am trying to understand why it opposes Teck Frontier, a project that was to be developed entirely in Alberta and that was under the jurisdiction of that province.
Is it now acceptable to the Bloc that the federal government interfere in provincial jurisdictions under the pretext of the environment and that it stop a project such as this one? The company said that it abandoned the project because of the Liberals. There are more than 30 projects that will produce more barrels of oil once the price of crude is more appealing.
Is it the Bloc's current position that federal interference in provincial jurisdictions is acceptable when done in the name of the environment?
