Mr. Speaker, it puts economic opportunities on the north coast and projects at risk. That is exactly what the MOU does.
The Liberals keep saying that there is no pipeline without support from indigenous nations and British Columbia, but the Building Canada Act, the one they keep citing and rely on, requires consultation only if nations say no. There is nowhere in the act that gives first nations the right to stop the project. It actually protects it.
Maybe the Liberals can explain why they talk about consent in public but remove it from the fine print when they put forward MOUs like the one they tabled, where it actually matters.
