Mr. Speaker, we have the utmost respect for farmers, and we want to work with them to find a middle ground on this project.
What saddens me is seeing the Conservatives try to keep us decades behind the times at every turn and with each project. In Europe, especially in France, Spain and the United Kingdom, high‑speed trains exist alongside agricultural activities and cross through fields.
I think that we, in Canada, are just as capable of doing things well and building infrastructure that will revolutionize and transform this country.
It would be nice if the Conservatives could get on board.
