Madam Speaker, I want to welcome my new colleague as a fellow newbie from Manitoba.
The Prime Minister and the government have talked a lot about nation-building energy projects. My constituency of Brandon—Souris in Manitoba, the member's and my home province, contains its oil and gas industry in the southwestern corner. We have talked a lot about getting our natural resources, oil and gas products, to tidewater on Hudson Bay. The throne speech failed to mention any real plan to get those products to Hudson Bay's tidewater.
Will the member agree that the throne speech failed to mention this and that the government should take further action to ensure that natural resources and products from my constituency in southwest Manitoba can get to Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba?
