Madam Speaker, I found it very interesting that the member talked about strategies, but it is clear to me that the Liberals would like to spin the vote into anything but division within their own caucus.
My constituents in Alberta do not trust the Liberal government to ever build a pipeline, and that goes for Conservatives across this country. None of them believe it will happen. We were very surprised to see the Liberals put an MOU forward, which dangled the possibility that they could build a pipeline. However, we were not shocked to see many Liberals, including the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie, the former minister of the environment in the government, and the member for Victoria, along with many other members, say that, no, this does not mean that a pipeline is going to be built and no, they do not support building a pipeline. This vote forces the Liberals to walk their talk.
Why can the Liberals not stand up and vote for this non-binding motion that only asks them to do what they claim they are promising to do?
