“Mr. Speaker, this is an awkward question to ask the hon. member for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South. I am distressed. When he asks the Liberal members why they do not support all of the Conservative platform, I do not think it is just a rhetorical question. I wonder why the Liberals do not, because they have abandoned their own platform. Almost all of the people across the way ran on a platform that mentioned climate change 38 times, and as Steven Guilbeault pointed out, it did not mention pipelines once. I am in a House where people on both sides of the aisle believe that we can throw stones at glass houses and glass never breaks. I do not think that is credible, but I wonder if my hon. colleague has any comments.”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 18 wordswhatever our policy disagreements, I know that my colleague is tremendously consistent and clear in her position, which, ThanksPositioning · 13 wordsas she alludes to, is more than can be said for the Liberals.PositioningClaims · 50 wordsThe Prime Minister is for pipelines in Alberta and is against them in British Columbia.He has people in his caucus who are very much against pipelines and others who claim they have turned over a new leaf.Sooner or later, Canadians are going to wonder where the results are.Reasoning · 26 wordsThe reason the Prime Minister is all talk and no results is that delivering results will mean having to pick a side on these contradictory positions.Positioning · 26 wordsI am glad there is some moral clarity on this issue from one side of the aisle.We are certainly not getting it from the Liberals.Positioning
