Mr. Speaker, once again, Canadians are finding out that the Prime Minister is all sizzle and no steak. It turns out that his big pipeline announcement will not actually build a pipeline. He is going to have a meeting to set up a plan and then sign a piece of paper that talks about maybe one day putting shovels in the ground. Now he is handing veto power to the NDP in British Columbia, allowing it to block the whole thing.
The Prime Minister is in Ottawa. We know he is having trouble with his own caucus on this issue, and now he is ducking the only question that Canadians have: Was yesterday the start of a real pipeline or just the latest episode of “announce now and deliver never”?
