Mr. Speaker, here is what this government is doing: expanding the Taylor to Gordondale pipeline; expanding the Sunrise pipeline; building Pacific link, a million-barrel-a-day pipeline to the west coast; building LNG Canada phase one; supporting Woodfibre; supporting Tilbury; and supporting Ksi Lisims. All the Conservatives do is complain and look for things to fight about. Why do they not help [more]

Mr. Speaker, let me share what the new Conservative Premier of British Columbia just said: “Our government’s focus is on the project in front of us.... Pacific Link has been declared in the national interest, it takes a southern route, and it will create...jobs [for] British Columbia.” Other Conservatives seem to be able to get on board and support Pacific link. These guys just look for [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to correct my last statement. Canola prices are up 8% because of clean fuel regs, but they are up 30% this year. Thirty per cent, and the Leader of the Opposition is trying to talk us down. We have been helping the farmers. We have been helping the people in Alberta. He is talking against them. We should work together and build Canada strong.

Mr. Speaker, I have some good news for the member opposite. Canola prices are up 8% this year. The amended clean fuel regulations will create significant new demand for canola. Rather than fight against canola farmers, why does he not help us build Canada strong?

Mr. Speaker, Canada, B.C., Alberta and affected first nations are working together to build the Pacific link, which will massively increase exports. We are building in partnership with indigenous people all across this country. Rather than pick fights with indigenous people, why do the Conservatives not join us on the north coast transmission line and help us build that with indigenous people? [more]

Mr. Speaker, I will repeat it. The Conservative leader can join us with indigenous people and help us build the sunrise pipeline expansion. He can join us and help us build the Taylor to Gordondale expansion. He can join us and build the Pacific link. He can join us and build the north coast transmission line. Instead of fighting indigenous people, he should work with indigenous people to build [more]

Mr. Speaker, here is who is investing in Canada. Shell just put $30 billion into the upstream in Alberta. Equinor is putting $10 billion into Newfoundland. Petronas is putting billions of dollars into this country. There are people from all over the world coming to invest in this country because of Liberal policies. Maybe the Conservatives should get on board.

Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, we are working with Alberta, we are working with British Columbia and we are working with first nations to sell Canadian oil to the world. We are doing it. We are selling electricity. We are selling oil. We are selling hydro. We are selling nuclear. We are selling copper. This is all in partnership with indigenous people. They want to fight with indigenous people. [more]

Mr. Speaker, here is what we will do. We will work with B.C., Alberta and affected first nations to build the Pacific link, which will massively increase oil exports. We will also work with first nations to build interties between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, to build hydro in Quebec, to build nuclear in Ontario and to build the north coast transmission line in B.C. Rather than fight against [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, this is what theis spending money on: 5,000 new jobs in Churchill Falls, 8,000 new jobs for Contrecoeur, 1,000 new jobs for Nouveau Monde Graphite, 18,000 new jobs at Darlington and 30,000 new jobs at Pickering. Rather than talk down the economy, why do the Conservatives not help us add new jobs to the Canadian economy?

Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting that the member is focused on something in B.C. Maybe she should focus a little closer to home. Her premier, Premier Wakeham, said that the federal government was instrumental in getting Bay du Nord built, a $10-billion energy project in her province that the Conservatives are not helping support. Maybe they should figure out where they should spend their time.

Mr. Speaker, we will up the member by four and get a million barrels a day to the west coast by working in partnership with first nations, not against them. Maybe he could start working with us to build jobs in Canada in partnership with first nations.

Mr. Speaker, maybe that member should come and join us in celebrating the 6,100 jobs at LNG Canada phase two in her province. Maybe she should join us in helping with 4,000 new jobs at the sunrise expansion in her province. Maybe she should get excited about the 2,000 new jobs at Tilbury. Maybe she should be excited about the thousands of new jobs at the port of Vancouver, and she might be [more]
