the grandson of David Suzuki and nephew of Severn Cullis-Suzuki the day after he was arrested for protesting a pipeline. A few days later an 11 year old was among the ones arrested. https://youtube/watch?v=VMWLGMZ_ShY Mr. Kennedy Stewart (Burnaby—Douglas, NDP): Mr. Speaker, in the past week, over 50 people have been arrested for protesting Kinder Morgans test drilling on Burnaby Mountain, and this includes the arrest this weekend of two 11-year-old girls. These are not radicals; they are regular people who rightly feel shut out of the flawed process to review this pipeline. They have no faith in the environmental review process that was gutted by these Conservatives. Why has the government deliberately set up a process that is primed for this kind of conflict? Let us not pretend that the NEB process is any more than a sham. Mrs. Kelly Block (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources, CPC): Mr. Speaker, we respect the right of Canadians to peaceful protest; however, the rule of law must be followed. This project will undergo a rigorous science- and fact-based review by the National Energy Board. The board must hear from those who are directly affected by a proposed project and may choose to hear from those with relevant expertise on the project. Again, we have been clear: projects will only proceed if they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.
