Mr. Speaker, it is true, thankfully, that over nine and a half years was not long enough for the government to actually completely kill the industry. We are thankful for that.
There are a number of points that the member brought up. He brought up TMX, and it still astounds me, the credit that the Liberals want to seek for driviPng private capital out of the oil and gas business. They had to take over and nationalize a project. This project would have been built sooner and at no risk to the taxpayer. When they chased out all of the private proponents for pipelines, yes, they built one. Even before they did that, though, they killed the northern gateway. The northern gateway was approved. It was almost literally the first act of the Liberal government when it came to power. Now they say, after 10 years, that they want to get big projects built. There is a credibility gap here.
