Liberal on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-09-24

Replying to Garnett Genuis (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, this is an important debate. Members are studying a very lengthy piece of legislation. I want to ask the member about the messages the government is sending now, relative to messages the government has sent in the past. Under the Liberal government, there was the passage of Bill C-69 and C-48, which are government bills that really obstructed the development of anything in this country, certainly the export of natural resources. Now we hear the government at least saying some good things. It is saying that we should be selling our resources to the world and that we should be developing and building things. I wonder if the member will acknowledge there is some change. Is there some recognition that big mistakes were made in the last 10 years in this regard?”

Promise · 9 wordsThe current government will endeavour to do the same.Vague promise Claims · 33 wordsThe last government built a pipeline to the Pacific coast.³ The current government, through the work of the Prime Minister and certainly by engaging Premier Smith, is open to another west coast pipeline, Reasoning · 54 wordsbecause it knows that being able to move the product to Asian markets is extremely important. Our ability to move liquefied natural gas off the B.C. coast to ensure that countries in the Pacific do not have to burn more coal in their energy grid is actually part of a global emissions reduction strategy.
