Mr. Speaker, this morning the radical ex-minister of the environment, and Greenpeace stuntman, said, “I sincerely doubt that the new pipeline will ever get built.” As the head of the Liberal “keep it in the ground” caucus, he has continuously poured cold water on the MOU, saying that there is no project, no route, no consensus and no private sector proponent. The former minister knows what the Prime Minister will not admit: that the west coast tanker ban makes any project impossible.
Will the Prime Minister repeal the tanker ban so we can get our resources to market, or is the new pipeline really just a pipe dream?
