Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and the energy minister say there will be no pipelines without a consensus, but buzzwords do not build pipelines. How is consensus realistic when the NDP Premier of B.C. has already ruled out a new pipeline. There is currently no proponent for an eastern pipeline, and the Prime Minister himself called for Canada to be an energy superpower one day, and the next day, he insisted that half of the other reserves need to stay in the ground. Half of the PM's own cabinet wanted to see Canada's oil industries die, and they spent the past decade trying to kill it.
If the Prime Minister cannot find consensus within his own cabinet, how does he plan to approve a pipeline?
