When we launch a project as huge as Trans Mountain, it goes without saying that we have to come to an understanding with the communities that are impacted. You could say that this is part of the risk involved.
GNL Québec comes to mind. If that company had gone through with its project, it would have been the one to compensate people impacted by its project, not the government. I don't understand why, in the case of Trans Mountain, the government is the one that has to compensate indigenous communities. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Do you at least agree with me in saying that this is once again a case of using government funds to bring the Trans Mountain project to fruition?
