Mr. Speaker, what I cannot understand is why the member opposite refuses to consider Canada as an energy superpower, considering all the forms of energy we create. If we want to be a superpower, we need to be ready to step up with all the forms of energy that the world is looking for.

Mr. Speaker, it is the same question I have been answering all night, and once again, my job as Minister of Environment and Climate Change is to make sure that we protect our environment. It is not to pick and choose the projects.
