Madam Speaker, I want to raise the concern of the lawyers representing the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation, just in time for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, that we are violating a sacred commitment made to that first nation. I say “we” because, thanks to the Liberals, we own the Trans Mountain pipeline. Their lawyer has asked that at least before they start construction on October 2, the Canada Energy Regulator provide reasons, so the first nation could pursue its legal right to appeal. Will the government ensure construction does not begin until reasons are provided?
