Starting construction [shows] that we will never compromise our energy security and affordability as we build out exports of the world's lowest-carbon LNG.

There is no good way to build major projects without First Nations partnership and leadership. Full stop.

First Nations voices have been key to many of the decisions we've made over the last year and a half.

Over the last eight months, we have been steadily delivering on each commitment in the Canada-Alberta MOU, working with Alberta and the energy industry to build major energy infrastructure, reduce emissions, create jobs and prosperity and…

The Trans Mountain pipeline is a money maker. It's one of the best assets that this the country has.

I am quite comfortable that this is a good investment for Canadian taxpayers.

By working together, we can ensure every Canadian from coast to coast to coast can rely on secure, homegrown electricity to support our national security, economic growth and a sustainable, affordable future.

This is what the deep geological repository represents. It helps unlock the next generation of nuclear projects.

When we use energy more wisely, we reduce pressures on supplies, we make our systems more reliable, we protect people and businesses from volatility and disruption.

Our government has moved assertively to build one economy out of thirteen and give ourselves more than anyone else can take away, and the electricity grid is an obvious next step.

We are supporting these projects because it is through transmission lines like these and a more connected electricity system writ large that we can improve reliability, we can lower costs and we can support economic growth.

They build our energy, mining and electricity and transportation sectors and beyond that, and they demonstrate to the world Canada's ambition from coast to coast to coast.

To meet these goals, we are going to need to build big things again both quickly and responsibly in partnership with Indigenous People.

If Canada is serious about expanding nuclear energy, we must also be serious about safe, responsible, long-term management of used nuclear fuel.

If listed, federal approvals for nation-building projects like these will secure our long-term energy sovereignty, unlock our abundant natural resources, drive economic growth, advance reconciliation and help maintain our world-class…

If our goal is to double our grid and build a low-carbon economy in less than 25 years, there is no credible plan to do that without nuclear energy and the clean, reliable baseload power it provides.

Canada can be a supplier you need in a volatile world.

The world is not waiting for Canada. But Canada is not waiting either. We’re rising to the moment.

We all know energy policy is now economic policy. It is security policy. It is trade policy. It is investment policy.

At the end of the day we come together, form a collective view and execute on that.
