Mr. Speaker, that is a fantastic question. I have said over and over again that the Liberals are focused only on headlines. The MOU is going to kick the can down the line and hopefully get them into another election by saying they were pro-pipeline. Nothing in the MOU actually says that they are going to build one, but today's motion would accomplish that, so I hope the Liberals will join us and vote for a pipeline that they have proposed. The leader of the Conservative Party has actually put forward amendments that they wanted.
To the member's question, yes, it would secure jobs. His riding and my city of Hamilton need steel, and we have to be self-reliant.
Again I encourage every member of the House to vote for the motion, and I hope they do. It is what the Liberals want, but we, through the motion, would do it faster and actually make a commitment to Canadians.
