Mr. Speaker, this is good news: Tourmaline energy, Canada's largest natural gas producer, has just started delivery of clean Canadian natural gas through pipelines to Chicago, then south to the U.S. gulf coast for delivery to Asian markets, proving to the skeptics that there is a business case for Canadian LNG. Tourmaline should be congratulated for showing the ingenuity to get through the barriers put up by the government to stop Canadian resources' access to world markets. Eight years ago, there was great promise in building Canada's natural gas export facilities. Eighteen facilities started the process of approval. Only one will be functional in 2025. Meanwhile, our U.S. competitors have built seven facilities in the same time frame. Is it because these Canadian projects do not require government subsidies to get them completed? The Liberals love to fund projects with other people's money. I congratulate Tourmaline again for exporting clean Canadian resources to an energy-starved world without subsidies.
