Madam Speaker, I may play the role of Santa and walk a Q-tip over to my hon. colleague to make sure that he can hear me and that there may not be an impediment with the speech I just gave. I made it very clear that if the Conservative Party had tabled the entire MOU before the House, we would be gladly supporting it. There is an interconnectivity to this. We do support oil and gas. I spoke very proudly about my own home province and the connection to my own riding, where I have a lot of workers who work in the natural resource sector. Whether it is in his home province or western Canada, we are proud as a government about this.
The Conservatives come in, cherry-pick and do not allow the elements that support emissions reductions. That is the party that is fractured. They could never have supported the MOU. They do not support the MOU because of the talk about industrial carbon pricing and methane reductions. They do not have the support of their party to stand up and support the MOU in the House, which is why they cherry-pick.
Quickly, on Newfoundland and Labrador, I was in St. John's to celebrate Cenovus's extension of West White Rose. We fully support the Newfoundland and Labrador offshore oil and gas sector. Our government is willing to work, as I have made very clear, and willing to have conversations with Premier Wakeham's government on Bay du Nord. We believe in the sector.
