I am also pleased to remind the member that the LNG Canada phase two expansion [more]

Mr. Speaker, there is, in a way, common ground here because everyone in the House wants projects built. Everyone wants jobs created. Everyone wants Canada to succeed.

Mr. Speaker, like the finance minister, I have very good news for the member. I am happy to oblige because he missed a lot of news over the past few months. He missed the announcement that the project in Churchill Falls and Gull Island in Quebec and Labrador will generate 23,000 jobs, not to mention the project in Contrecœur, the Nouveau Monde Graphite project, the Alto project, of course, and [more]
