Mr. Speaker, aside from the fact that the government has obviously completely abandoned the fight against climate change, the big question that we will have to ask ourselves today is this: Is there really a proponent that is interested in building a pipeline?
There do not seem to be very many people lining up to do that. The Liberals and the Conservatives are going back and forth about who has the longest pipeline, but no one is interested. There is no commercial interest in building a pipeline. Not a single proponent is interested.
My Conservative friends will have to be clear about whether they are willing to put public money into this type of infrastructure. We lost $34 billion in the past. We need to know whether the Conservatives are willing to put public money into this.
