“The government is terrible at investing public money. It put $55 million into a nuclear energy company that just failed and sold for only $11 million. Taxpayers rarely get their money back from these projects.”
“Madam Speaker, the Liberal government, for 11 years, has been the worst investor of any government in Canadian history. There is a litany of projects, but I just want to talk about one today. Moltex Energy Canada was purporting to make molten-salt nuclear reactors in New Brunswick. The Liberal government poured $55 million, taxpayer dollars, into this boondoggle. It just went into insolvency and has been sold off for $11 million. Can the member for Calgary Crowfoot talk about the government’s poor record of investment? It loves spending taxpayer dollars on its schemes, but taxpayers rarely ever get their money back.”
