Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the incredible work he does on behalf of the great people he represents.
The United States and Europe are obsessed with building critical economic and energy infrastructure, not just the stuff to extract from the ground but also stuff to provide value to it and then export it abroad. Canada cannot get its act together on the basic number of projects it must approve, while the United States and the European Union are moving ahead at lightning speed with pipelines, ports, rail, road and everything else that is needed.
That is the kind of determination our government needs to bring. That is the kind of determination the government has never delivered.
