Replying to Jeremy Patzer (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, this is coming from a Liberal government that is completely out of ideas. Here is why. We let the Liberals have Bill C‑5 because they said it was the thing they needed to get business investment and get things built at speeds we have never seen before in this country. We worked with them to pass it because we agree that Canada needs to get building and start getting things done, yet not a single project from the Major Projects Office has been approved and advanced to any next stage. The Liberals then turned around and said that is not working. What else can they try? They decided to try a sovereign wealth fund, but they do not have any money to put into it, so they are going to borrow against it. They are going to use debt to finance it. It is going to cost Canadians $750 million a year just in debt service charges for their so-called sovereign wealth fund. It is going to be a debt fund. On top of that, they figured out that that is not going to work either, so now they are going to have consultations to figure out how to speed things up. The government is clueless. It has no idea. Why does it not pass the sovereignty act that the Conservatives proposed to get projects built?”

It sounded yet again like a litany of complaints and no new ideas, which is exactly what the opposition is devoid of.PositioningOff point Procedure · 11 wordsPerhaps I could tell them something they might be hopeful about.Procedure Claims · 61 wordsIn my province of British Columbia, there are now four projects at the Major Projects Office.¹ I understand that the Government of Alberta is looking forward to putting forward a proposition to be able to get energy resources to tidewater. It seems that the provinces, the country and the private sector are working together to ensure that we are building things. Positioning · 41 wordsI understand the impatience on the other side. After all, the bill was passed less than a year ago.² However, they somehow expect mines to spring out of the ground, mills to be built overnight and pipelines to randomly show up.Positioning Reasoning · 27 wordsPeople who have actually built things know that is not how things get done in this country, and it is not how we build real, resilient infrastructure.
