Mr. Speaker, while the Prairies burn, the first ministers are in Saskatoon talking about dirty oil pipelines and scrapping environmental assessments. That is the Canadian identity today: A Liberal Prime Minister who sits down with oil companies before discussing matters with his counterparts, and provinces that isolate Quebec in order to force it into accepting a pipeline. All these people keep telling us that Canadian unity and the national interest are at stake.
Does the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture honestly believe that Canadian unity and the national interest are all about building pipelines while the Prairies are burning?
