Madam Speaker, as I come from Alberta, there are a couple of things that perhaps the member should be aware of, namely that the environmental aspects of oil sands development there are the best in the world and should be respected.
Earlier on the member mentioned that Albertans always say that we need to build pipelines. It is true, because it is so important. However, one of the other things that was said is that we were there to protect Quebec as well. We stood up for the aluminum industry and talked about how it was important to be able to sell that product around the world. We did that because of the fact Quebec can do it in an environmentally friendly way, just as Alberta oil is done in an environmentally friendly way.
When we look at what else can happen when the U.S. starts replacing our oil with oil from other places around the world, how is that really going to help the planet? Maybe we should all be talking about the things that we do that make Canada great.
