“The government is the reason a new pipeline to the west coast is blocked, not the Americans. The Prime Minister has not cut taxes on resource projects or started building any new ones. When will construction actually start on the new pipeline?”
“Mr. Speaker, it is not the Americans who are blocking a pipeline to the west coast. It is the government. The biggest barrier we are facing within the industry is the Liberal government. The Prime Minister has not reversed a single Liberal antidevelopment law, reduced a single tax on our resource industries or delivered a single shovel in the ground on a new project from his Major Projects Office. It is more of the same because he is just another Liberal. They said that they would move at unimaginable speeds, so on what date will construction start on the new pipeline?”
