“The new Conservative Premier of British Columbia supports the Pacific Link project because it will create jobs. Other Conservatives support it too. The opposition just wants to fight. I want them to stop fighting and join us in supporting this project.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me share what the new Conservative Premier of British Columbia just said: “Our government’s focus is on the project in front of us.... Pacific Link has been declared in the national interest, it takes a southern route, and it will create...jobs [for] British Columbia.” Other Conservatives seem to be able to get on board and support Pacific link. These guys just look for opportunities to fight. We are interested in building, not fighting. Why do they not join us?”

“The west coast economy is growing. The Port of Vancouver just set a record for shipments, which helps us trade with more countries and will help double our exports outside the United States over the next 10 years. We are building British Columbia and Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, there is so much going on on the west coast that is driving up economic growth and opportunity for that member’s constituents that it is hard to name them. In addition to what my colleague, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, just laid out, let me just congratulate the port of Vancouver for an all-time record of shipments going out of that port that is building our country strong and diversifying our trade markets.
