Mr. Speaker, I have not been in the House for the past few weeks, but I did watch the debates remotely. I could not help but notice a conspicuous absence, not of a person I am not allowed to name, but of the public interest. There seemed to be no place for the public interest in the debates.
I have tremendous respect for my colleague opposite, but here is what I want to know. Is he not ashamed of his paradoxical attitude of saying one thing and doing another? On the surface, he is promoting environmental causes, but, at the same time, he is financing pipelines. In the name of the public interest, which is it? It has to be one or the other.
