Mr. Speaker, Claims · 87 words this government has made a commitment to make Canada a clean and conventional energy superpower. Vague promise That means doing what we can to grow our economy right now, Vague promise and it makes sure that we are diversifying our export markets. This bill would allow us to be more competitive in a global market and get our products to market. It would allow us to be competitive in terms of seeking investment and creating those opportunities right across the country. Those opportunities are there in every sector of our economy. Positioning · 10 words Canada has what the world wants. We have amazing opportunities. Positioning Claims · 42 words Particularly in my province of British Columbia, we are the gateway to Asia. This is where a lot of this development is going to happen, and the measures that are in this bill would allow us to fully take advantage of that. Partly on point
