Mr. Speaker, the reason it was not profitable was that it was under the Liberal government. The Liberal government created so many regulations, continually moved the goalposts and made it impractical for any private business to make that project profitable, so the government had to step in. What it needed to do was what we are asking it to do: Move out of the way.
Private industry is ready to build major products in Canada, including a pipeline, if the government just gets out of the way. That would be profitable for the government and bring great prosperity to Canadians.
