“Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, the Prime Minister announced that his new western pipeline will be a project of national interest. His concept of the “national interest” is pretty odd. He thinks that the national interest means getting taxpayers to pay for a pipeline that will cost at least $40 billion, without any impact assessments and without complying with environmental laws. That is $40 billion, at a minimum, of our money for a pipeline that the private sector refuses to invest in because it is so unappealing. How is bleeding Quebeckers dry during an economic crisis in the national interest?”
