Madam Chair, I will set the issue of security aside and instead talk about the fact that the Prime Minister said that Trans Mountain's profits would be invested in the fight against climate change. That is like asking a firefighter to light a fire to justify his job. That being said, when the Prime Minister made those comments, the cost was $7.4 billion, but it is now $30.9 billion. This will not be profitable, and the taxpayers are footing the bill.
In terms of the government's climate commitments, how can she explain this Trans Mountain venture now that it is clear to everyone that it will not be making any profits?
