Mr. Speaker, Skeena—Bulkley Valley is ready to build. Conservatives worked with the government to pass Bill C-5 so that the Prime Minister could approve projects quickly while cutting red tape. However, after a year of speeches, no single project has been approved and no barriers have been removed.
Skeena—Bulkley Valley is already contributing and is asking for a chance to invest, build and work. The Stewart World Port expansion, the Telkwa coal project, the Endako mine and Terrace industrial lands are real projects that mean real jobs, stronger businesses and stable futures for families in our regions.
When we build and export, incomes rise and life becomes more affordable. That is why, today, we introduced a motion to pass a Canadian sovereignty act that would repeal federal measures that block and punish project development, would reward hard-working Canadians who build and invest, and would protect Canadian innovation and our economic sovereignty.
