Mr. Speaker, I disagree with many things the member opposite said and how he characterized them. I appreciate that he asked the question on a day that I think is a particularly important day because the Prime Minister and premiers from provinces and territories across our country sat down to have conversations about how we can better work together to unify our country, stand together in the face of what we are facing from the United States and how we can build the nation-building projects that will make our country stronger.
On a day when we have seen unity across our country, I really want to highlight that, because that is where we need to go. That is where Canadians wanted us to go. Canadians from coast to coast to coast elected this government because they wanted to us to come together, protect our country, stand up for our country and build great things together. Today is a particularly good day to highlight how that is moving forward already, very early on in the new government.
Our Liberal government is focused on results, and that means protecting and creating good jobs, attracting investment and building a low-risk, low-cost and low-carbon clean economy for the future. Right now, as I mentioned, the Prime Minister is working with premiers to identify projects of national significance that will grow our economy, and Canadians rightly expect to see, as we look at those projects, that we are also upholding strong environmental standards. That is where the difference between our government and the Conservatives can be quite stark.
I will point out that Canadians rejected Pierre Poilievre's vision because it was to give polluters a free pass. There was talk about industrial carbon pricing. Pierre Poilievre's vision that was rejected by Canadians was to ignore the cost of climate change to our economy, to workers and to communities. What Canadians chose instead was to work on how to build a unified, strong country that can get things built. That is exactly what we are working on.
When it comes to approving major projects, we are focused on getting them built faster without cutting corners. That means respecting indigenous rights, collaborating with provinces and territories and ensuring that projects are in the national interest to build a strong future. The Conservative alternative, from what I have heard, is no environmental safeguards, no provincial involvement or input and no indigenous input or involvement in this process, and that does not create certainty for investors. Canadians have rejected that failed approach. In fact, with that approach under the previous Conservative government, things were not getting built.
This government will get major projects built, and we are going to make sure we do it right. We are going to be focused on protecting Canadian workers, growing our economy to be the strongest in the G7 and getting projects of national significance built.
