A debate on oil and gas pipelines where the Bloc Québécois opposed new pipelines, citing environmental groups and concerns, while the Liberals argued for balancing the economy and environment, noting the importance of natural resource development. The Bloc accused the Liberals of repeating the expensive Trans Mountain pipeline project.
“The last pipeline cost taxpayers $40 billion to move dirty oil. Emissions went up, not down. Quebecers paid the bill. I don't want that to happen again.”
