Thank you, Minister Freeland and Minister Wilkinson, for being here today.
Of course, the Conservatives always supported the nation-building Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which was undeniably in federal jurisdiction. What we advocated for, though, was for the federal government to assert federal jurisdiction and the rule of law to ensure that the private sector proponent could get that pipeline built on their dime and on their schedule.
Minister Freeland, do you agree with StatsCan in its report from last Thursday that if Canada didn't have contributions from oil and gas right now, it would be in a recession?
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
