“That question is off-topic. We are working with Quebec on this major project. Conservatives supported it in the past, even under Stephen Harper, but today's Conservatives are not telling the truth about it.”
“Mr. Speaker, I can appreciate the question, I guess, to a certain degree. It is completely off‑topic. However, when we take a look at what is being proposed and what the government is pushing as a major project, working with the Province of Quebec in a collaborative fashion, this is a project that has received support from Progressive Conservatives. It has also received support from Conservatives. The member will find that, in previous governments, under the Harper regime, there were members of Parliament in the Conservative caucus who actually supported the project and who were in opposition to what today’s far-right Conservative Party is saying. The Conservatives are trying to portray something that is not the case. Hopefully, we will hear a lot more on this project in the days to come.”
