Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, President Biden's decision to rescind the permit for KXL has no impact on Enbridge's Line 5 or Line 3 replacement projects. These pipelines continue to operate. These are projects to modernize existing energy infrastructure, and they are driven by safety and good l

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we fought every step of the way, along with the Government of Alberta, in Washington, D.C. We made our case and did so every step of the way, knowing that if we did that together, our chances of success would increase. We were both proud of this project. We believe i

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, this is a development that is within provincial jurisdiction, but it is a project that we are watching very closely.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, this is in response to the question for the member for Edmonton Strathcona, because I inadvertently left the impression that the Grassy Mountain coal project was under provincial jurisdiction. To clarify the record, the Grassy Mountain project, which is a proposed

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we take this issue very seriously. Line 5 is vital to our energy security. It supplies Imperial, Shell and Suncor's refineries in Sarnia.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is irresponsible and it serves no one to conflate Line 5 with Keystone XL or any other project.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, in December we launched our plan to plant two billion trees. The first of these trees are going to be planted this spring. Our plan increases annual tree planting in Canada by 40%. It permanently increases forest cover by an area twice the size of P.E.I. We are worki

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member and I have been speaking about this issue. This is obviously hugely important not only for her riding but, as she mentioned, for Canadian industry. We are working alongside Ambassador Hillman and Consul General Joe Comartin, and I want to thank them

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is incumbent upon us to safeguard our relationship with the single-largest customer for Canadian crude.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the other night during the emergency debate, I listened carefully to the opposition and some of what the members said really shocked me. The member for Foothills called TMX a white elephant. On this side of the House, we are proud that TMX is finally being built, no

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, let me speak quickly to the single biggest relationship we have, the single largest customer for Canadian crude, for instance, which is our biggest export. It is not just an issue for Alberta or Saskatchewan; it is an issue for all of Canada. Cross-border energy tr

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we approved the Line 3 replacement project and we did that in order to create good, middle-class jobs. Line 3 is a mixed service line.
