Mr. Speaker, this project was in the national interest. It will mean more jobs, more GDP and more capacity to pay for the transformation of our economy to be lower emission, and it is fully factored into Canada's climate plan.
With the project now completed, the federal government got the job done. However, I will be honest, it is not the federal government's intention to continue to operate a pipeline. We look forward to divesting it to partners.

Mr. Speaker, we just heard it from the Conservative Party of Canada: We should not have moved forward with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. We disagree, and that is why we are actually getting it done.
If the member opposite really cared about creating great jobs for the middle class, he would be understanding that we cannot grow the economy unless we fight climate change at the same time. That is why Volkswagen is coming to invest in Canada. That is why Sayona is building lithium mines in Quebec. That is why Stellantis, Ford and GM, and investors like Michelin, Rio Tinto and Lion Electric continue to invest in our supply chain, in our future and in great jobs for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, under Stephen Harper, Conservatives were the most pro oil and gas of any government we had ever had and yet they could not get a damn thing built. They did not understand that working with communities, working together with Canadians and fighting climate change is the only way to get things built, and that is how we are the ones able to move forward with the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline they were unable to get done. They failed the energy sector with their ideological approach. We are delivering for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, again we are suddenly back in the Stephen Harper era, where Conservatives continue to think one can just drive a pipeline anywhere one wants, built a plant, move—
Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, Line 5 is critical infrastructure for Canada and the United States. We have taken strong steps to defend Line 5, including formally invoking the bilateral pipeline treaty. I have raised Line 5 directly with President Biden, and I have emphasized its importance to the Canadian economy and North American energy security.
Ambassador Hillman and others in our government continue to raise Line 5 with U.S. officials. We will always stand up for Canadian workers and Canadian industry.

Mr. Speaker, as a government, we have been there for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and their energy sectors. We are actually moving forward with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which the Conservatives could not get approved and could not get built. We are going to continue to work to ensure that we are supporting workers in the energy industry, even as we ensure that we are moving forward in ways that reduce carbon from our atmosphere and create a better future with good jobs for everyone.
Canada has a significant role to play in the world. We will continue to play it with Europe and with other allies as well.
