“The government only focuses on oil companies and pipelines, and gave them more tax credits. It is ignoring the tariff crisis it was elected to fix. I want to know why the government forgot about this crisis.”
“Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary’s speech was quite interesting. However, looking at this government’s actions since it was elected, it appears as though the only thing it can talk about is pipelines, pipelines, pipelines, and oil, oil, oil. The latest economic update included yet more new tax credits for oil companies. The government is constantly signing agreements to build new pipelines all over the place. Meanwhile, the government seems to be losing sight of what it was elected to do, which was to manage the tariff crisis. This crisis was completely ignored in the economic update. My question for the parliamentary secretary is this: Is the government so obsessed with oil that it has forgotten about the tariff crisis, or is it because it was elected on false pretenses?”
