Mr. Speaker, I would like to give a brief history lesson.
When I was young, between four and five years old, I saw families on television being expropriated from their land. It is impossible to imagine what it would have felt like for a four- or five-year-old boy living on a farm to see his house being bulldozed. The entire rural community of Quebec felt this great betrayal and the fear of having their land expropriated because major developers had simply drawn a line on a map.
Imagine what it is like to lose nine to 12 generations' worth of work for a project that may not have been worth it.
