Mr. Speaker, it feels like it is déjà vu all over again. We spent years in opposition fighting against the Stephen Harper ideological approach that stood against harm reduction, that allowed people to die in the streets and that criminalized drug users. That failed. Canadians chose a different path in 2017, one grounded in evidence, science, compassion and a health approach to treating addictions, not a justice-system approach to treating victims. We will not take any lessons from that ideologically driven, fact-free Conservative Party of Canada.

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, 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.
