Mr. Chair, I appreciate the minister's really great speech around the things that Canadians sent us to do in this House. Obviously, we all just came off the campaign trail and we ended up on this side of the House, so I congratulate the minister.
The Americans are threatening Canada's sovereignty and our economy. We all heard collectively at the doors that Canadians want us to deliver on this. What role do natural resources play in protecting our country, and what is the government going to do to get these projects built?
