Mike Lake Conservative
“Canada's economy and national unity would improve if Alberta could sell its oil around the world. Foreign oil from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Algeria faces fewer emission rules than Alberta oil. I want to know if the member thinks that is fair.”
“Mr. Speaker, one thing that would help Canada’s fiscal situation substantially and would help our national unity situation substantially is if we were allowed to sell our resources from Alberta around the world. Currently, because of policies put in place by this member’s government over the last 10 years, oil shipped from Alberta is subject to more rigorous emission standards than oil imported from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria to Canada. Does the member think it is okay that oil coming from Nigeria, Saudi Arabia or Algeria is subject to less rigorous standards than oil and gas coming from Alberta?”
