“The government plans to spend $25 billion in public money on oil and pipelines. I want to know which Liberals will refuse to make taxpayers pay for a pipeline.”
“Mr. Speaker, seems like there is a new pipeline in the works in Ottawa. The Liberal member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie said this morning: “Where I draw the line is if the federal government decides to use any of the many mechanisms at its disposal [to buy a pipeline].” His Prime Minister’s economic update gives us cause for concern. He has come up with a scheme called a “sovereign wealth fund” that contains $25 billion in public money to finance dirty oil. Are there any other Liberals who will draw the line and refuse to pass the cost of a pipeline on to taxpayers?”
