Kelly McCauley Conservative
“The government is stopping pipeline construction and capping oil and gas production. It is also punishing our energy industry with a carbon tax that other countries do not have. Businesses will not invest in Canada because of these policies.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North overlooks the fact that this government has not repealed Bill C-48, which ensures no pipeline will get built to the B.C. coast. He overlooks that this government has still not repealed Bill C-69, the no new pipelines bill. This government has still not repealed the oil and gas production cap. Who is going to invest in this country when we cannot get our oil to market, and when the government is punishing the oil and gas industries with a carbon tax that does not apply to similar industries in other countries? The Major Projects Office is like everything else the Liberals offer: It is an illusion.”
