Mr. Speaker, I appreciate some of the comments the member has put on the record.
I think in terms of the prairie provinces and the province of British Columbia. If we take a look at the Prime Minister and the government as a whole, working with the other jurisdictions, I believe we can see that there is a great sense of collaboration. People out west are appreciative. They see the collaboration that is taking place. There is a very strong sense of optimism, whether it is in resource development or in many other common interests that we have in western Canada and even going up north.
I wonder if the member could provide his thoughts in regard to the collaboration that is taking place today and has taken place over the last number of months, which is really leading to a great deal of optimism out west.
