Bienvenu-Olivier Ntumba Liberal
“I want the member to explain why he opposes this bill. It does not lower standards. It speeds up projects and helps Canada sell to new markets instead of just relying on the United States.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague gave a fine speech about the opinion of his political party. Can he explain to me how he would do a better job defending the benefits of this bill? This bill does not remove standards. Instead, it sets out guidelines to fast-track the implementation of projects so that Canada can be the master in its own house. My colleague argued at length about his opposition to the pipeline, while Canada is diversifying its markets so that it is no longer dependent on a single market, the American market. Why would he not want to support this bill?”
