Natural Resources committee  We should not. I think that's how we failed in the past.

Natural Resources committee  I have spoken with Minister Coady on this matter, as well as with Husky, and also with the offshore petroleum board. We find it completely unacceptable that.... If there is a disconnect of information and communication, we need to fix it. Any spill is a bad spill, whether a small

Natural Resources committee  Through you, Mr. Chair—

Natural Resources committee  The goal of Bill C-69 as I mentioned earlier, is to improve the failed process of the Harper government that led to not a single pipeline being built.

Natural Resources committee  Our goal here, as a government, is that.... Ignoring the environment or the needs of indigenous peoples is not going to get you anywhere. It's not going to get your pipeline built. Stephen Harper tried to do that for a decade, and it failed for a decade—

Natural Resources committee  We will—

Natural Resources committee  If you allow me, Mr. Chair, we have been very clear. Premier Notley has raised the issue of downstream emissions with other governments. I have met with the environment minister from Alberta, Minister Phillips. We have been absolutely clear that downstream emissions will not be p

Natural Resources committee  We have always been very clear, and we were clear with the proponent of Energy East that our government will not consider downstream emissions as part of the approval process.

Natural Resources committee  Both Paul and I were actually in the greater Sudbury area last month. I talked about the example of innovation and creativity in the mining sector by highlighting the Goldcorp Borden mine. It's a good example of the environment and the economy going hand in hand. Sudbury is a g

Natural Resources committee  We take a very balanced approach. We understand the significance of a traditional source of energy, oil and gas, and we support new investments in wind, solar, geothermal and tidal power.

Natural Resources committee  What I commit to is that we are moving forward on this project in a more responsible way. We made changes to the regulatory process that we inherited from the Harper government and those interim principles have led us to the approval of Enbridge Line 3, which is under way and wil

Natural Resources committee  Absolutely, I don't disagree with that. We will definitely take it up with my officials to see how we can work with you on this and to see what options are available to the federal government for support in that area. You're absolutely right that we need to clean up those wells.

Natural Resources committee  We are. We are investing $26 billion in green infrastructure. Out of that, $9 billion is going to the provinces and territories. There are also monies available for them to invest in renewable energy as well as in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We are doing quite a bit in eve

Natural Resources committee  One thing I really take pride in is the collaborative partnership approach we have taken with industries, including the mining industry. One issue they identified to us was that they need long-term predictability around the mineral exploration tax credit. We have listened to them

Natural Resources committee  Thank you so much for that question. I was in Williams Lake last week and met with some forestry sector leaders to talk about the challenges facing the forestry sector. We were there to make a funding announcement to encourage more indigenous businesses to actually participate. T
