Mr. Speaker, now they are complaining that we did it. It is amazing. It really and truly is amazing. Their record is zero, not an inch. Fast-forward to today, when we have a Prime Minister who understands the value of it and who is working and making sure that we can proceed. What does the opposition have to say? I am going to go back to the political games that the Conservative Party plays day after day in the House of Commons.
If Conservatives genuinely were concerned about pipelines, and my colleague was right, they should actually be saying, “Yes, we can do pipelines. It is possible.” They should not be discouraging industry. They are the only political entity that has a chance to govern here in Canada that is saying no to the industry, saying there is no chance of building a pipeline. It is not like it was back in the Harper days. We can actually get things done. That is the bottom line. The Conservatives might have a number of MPs who represent Alberta, but they are a disaster, an absolute, total disaster, in terms of actually moving forward on the pipeline issue.
We can look at what the leader of the Conservative Party did today. Let us imagine this. First he told Canadians he was going to move a motion, which was just going to say to build that pipeline. Who cares about consultation? He then realized he might have misspoken a little. Now he is coming forward and he says he wants to be a little softer on the approach. He says Conservatives like this part of the MOU and that part of the MOU, so they will bring those in and then say, “Now let us challenge the Liberals.”
It is a very clear issue for the Liberal caucus. Every Liberal MP understands what was signed by Danielle Smith and the Prime Minister. It is an MOU that everyone should be getting behind. If one supports the environment, supports building Canada strong or the economy, supports federalism, this is the type of MOU that advances all three of those issues. Only the Conservative Party of Canada would vote against that. We see that. We can look at what the Conservatives brought forward to the House. They cherry-picked, to try to cause more division. They want more division in Canada. They are not that much different from the Bloc at times, it would appear.
If they want Canada to work, they should look at what is in front of their faces and start supporting good ideas. What the premier and the Prime Minister signed is good, in whole. They should get behind it and vote for it.
