Madam Speaker, my riding had a great liquefied natural gas project planned. Through that project, we would have been able to export natural gas and reduce the number of coal-fired power plants. It would also have reduced Europe's dependence on Russia. I do not understand why we are not developing our natural resources as much as we should. The government is holding us back. I welcome the use of all kinds of energy. Why is the government shunning Canadian energy? For the sake of our country, we should be making use of all sources of energy, particularly our fossil fuels.

Madam Speaker, our fossil fuels have come a long way thanks to new technologies. We must never forget that. As I have already said, I am not opposed to other energy sources. We are simply not there yet. Let us stop burying our heads in the sand. The demand for energy continues to rise. As I said, back home we had a great energy transition project planned involving liquefied natural gas, which would have reduced the number of coal-fired power plants in the world and eliminated Europe's dependence on the Russians. I think we need to take another look at this, all of us together. We need to sit down and work together to develop the resources we have here in Canada.
