Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I know this issue is particularly close to her heart, since it is happening in her riding. Even so, I thought her speech was thoughtful and she did not resort to political rhetoric. I thank her for that as well.
I would like to hear her thoughts on something. We know that an energy transition will not happen overnight, but I think we can all agree that the Line 5 pipeline shutdown will not happen overnight either. Nevertheless, in the long term we will need to find a way out of fossil fuels. I wonder if she thinks this would be a good idea as part of a negotiation.
Instead of trying to hold on to Line 5 forever, we could have a discussion at some point about how, after taking the time to do things right, we will have to shut down the pipeline.
Would that not be a good approach right now, to avoid choosing a drastic and ill-prepared solution?
