Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the hon. member for his speech. I am quite enamoured of it. If we could have taken that speech and put it in any context around Northern Gateway, Trans Mountain, energy east or Keystone XL, it would have fit with all of those things, yet we have seen time and again that the government has shut down those pipelines. We have seen how the government failed to stand up for the 134,000 oil field workers in northern Alberta when all of those pipelines were on the docket to be cut.
What has changed in the member's mind that now he is suddenly an ardent defender of pipelines?
