Mr. Speaker, I guess that is why they call it “questions and comments”. We can ask a rhetorical question and answer it ourselves before even putting it aside.
However, this shows that the Conservatives are against the thing that they are asking for. It boggles the mind that as a government they showed for years that they could not get anything done. Any project they pushed forward was stopped by the courts, stalled and denied. The projects would have violated indigenous rights and gone against premiers at every opportunity. We have heard recently from the Leader of the Opposition that he would do exactly the same thing. No lessons have been learned during their time in opposition. No lessons were learned when the Leader of the Opposition was in cabinet and he saw that all of these energy projects that they were going to ram down the throats of Canadians were denied and stalled. Nothing happened, and nothing has changed in all of this time.
