Madam Speaker, I picked up on a couple of the comments made by my friend from Calgary Signal Hill about pipelines. I am very concerned as it has been repeated in the House many times that the Liberals, the NDP or the Greens do not care about the economy or workers in Alberta. I agree with the member for Kingston and the Islands that nothing could be further from the truth, but that there are in fact changes that transform economies. This is one that is coming whether the hon. member wants to hear about it or not. Global markets are moving away from fossil fuels; investors are moving toward renewables. I want to make the point that when energy east was cancelled, it was not cancelled because of government regulations; it was cancelled because of a decision by the company itself. Even what we now call the Canada Energy Regulator, which used to be the NEB, has said that we do not need additional pipeline capacity in this country.
In the House of Commons on February 2nd, 2021. See this statement in context.
