Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was in Alberta, where he announced federal approval for the pipeline project that crosses British Columbia and terminates at a deep-water port on the Pacific coast.
Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois asked the government a question, and the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons spontaneously answered yes to that question. The question was whether this project would get approval from the British Columbia government, first nations and the population—whether it would get social licence. He spontaneously replied that it would not go ahead without the approval of the British Columbia government, first nations and the public. However, it is clear that the British Columbia government is not interested in this project. It is against it.
My colleague is from British Columbia. What does he think will happen in his province?
