Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the Trans Mountain project is an investment in Canada's future. Our government continues to have every confidence in this project. We are going to move forward in the right way. The court has provided us a clear path forward and we will make sure that we take the t

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, Canadians realize that now more than ever we need to diversify our markets with regard to our energy resources, and that is what we plan to do. However, we must do so in the right way. Today we have decided to do three things. First, we have instructed the National

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, at a time when 99% of our energy exports are to one market alone, the United States, Canadians realize that we need to expand our markets.
