“The Prime Minister says he supports pipelines in Alberta, but he opposes them in British Columbia. His party is split on the issue. He does not get anything done because taking action would force him to pick a side.”
“Mr. Speaker, whatever our policy disagreements, I know that my colleague is tremendously consistent and clear in her position, which, as she alludes to, is more than can be said for the Liberals. The 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. The 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. I 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.”
