Mr. Speaker, I have an 18-month-old child at home and sometimes he kicks and screams because he is not happy with my decisions, but it is not a strategy to inform me or influence me on the decisions that are best for him. That particular member was kicking and screaming for the last three years when he was the leader of the opposition and now there is a new leader of the opposition, but he seems to be adopting the same strategy. I do not see how kicking and screaming is going to help us build more pipelines.
Perhaps the member should take note of section 35 and our duty to consult with indigenous peoples. It is something that he completely omitted in his platform in 2019. No pipelines are going to get built in Canada if we do not consult with our indigenous peoples.
My question for the member is this: Knowing that President Biden is going to be in power for the next four years, is kicking and screaming really a good strategy to adopt here?
