Natural Resources committee  Part of the approval of the pipeline was deeply linked to meaningful consultation with indigenous peoples. Are there ways we are ensuring that indigenous peoples meaningfully benefit from Trans Mountain in terms of jobs and other opportunities? Also, I've heard some exciting thi

Natural Resources committee  Just prior to my asking questions of the minister, I'd like to applaud the chair for his exceptional work and leadership for this committee. You've done excellent work.

Natural Resources committee  Minister, it's a thrill to have you back. I was in Calgary yesterday for Minister Morneau's presentation and his address to the Economic Club of Canada in Calgary. The excitement was present in the air, and there was a hop in the step of people in the room, which was good to see.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you for that, Minister. The Trans Mountain Pipeline is important to Calgarians. In fact, it's in the public interest. It not only provides jobs for Albertans but also provides us an opportunity to get fair prices for our oil. None of that is possible without shovels being

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I've been listening with great interest. I am supportive of Mr. Whalen's amendment. I believe it achieves not only the spirit but the intent, and it will have the goal of getting the minister here to speak to this august committee. This will allow us to mov

Natural Resources committee  We don't know when that is.

Natural Resources committee  This is an exciting project that, hopefully, will wield some excellent results. Here's a follow-up question to your presentation. You were saying that much work has been done on tailing ponds. I was actually in the Alberta legislature in 2008 when there was an incident where d

Natural Resources committee  Is NRCan developing more frameworks and more robust systems to allow geothermal to happen throughout Canada?

Natural Resources committee  I note that you brought up towards the end of your presentation the government's $100 million investment in CRIN and that a group of people came from Calgary to Ottawa to discuss this initiative. You say that the group has been collaborating for the last year. Can you shed a litt

Natural Resources committee  Fabulous. You mentioned LNG Canada. Of course, that's a tremendous success story that we're very proud of and that can not only move our economy forward but help with world GHG emissions. In fact, if we do it right and get it to markets overseas, this will help reduce global GHG

Natural Resources committee  I have a quick question to follow up on Ms. Stubbs' line of questioning. It appears to me right now that what we were operating on before was the 2012 process for developing pipelines that put in place by the Conservatives and, at least from my view, if there has been a “no pipel

Natural Resources committee  It's about the early engagement of indigenous peoples.

Natural Resources committee  Thanks to our honoured guests for being here. I have a follow-up question to Mr. Whalen's. You guys were describing our pipeline capacity and how we're going to be moving forward on the Trans Mountain pipeline the right way, and with Enbridge Line 3 and Keystone XL. That roughly

Natural Resources committee  The timing on some of these is a little unclear. This is like the joke Mr. Des Rosiers made earlier, which could also apply to pipelines. Some of those things are outside of our control, given what's happening in the jurisdiction south of the border, particularly with regard to K

Natural Resources committee  Okay. Thank you for that answer. Given that 45 nations and 24 subnational governments have carbon pricing, that seems to be the move towards things being as they are. You mentioned earlier that you guys are working on things that lower the carbon usage or the carbon being emitt
