Arnold Viersen Conservative
“The Liberals are using Conservative ideas. Years ago, Stephen Harper had great plans to make Canada less dependent on the United States. I want the member to reflect on those ideas so we can push the government to use them.”
“Mr. Speaker, the carbon tax happened during the election, but in this Parliament we are at a really explicit point in time where the Liberals are taking our ideas and running with them. Now, I just want to bring us back a couple of decades to where Stephen Harper started an ambitious agenda of making it so we were not so reliant on the United States. He probably started that back in 2007 or maybe prior to that. I am wondering if the member can just reflect on some of those great ideas that Stephen Harper had, and if we can push the Liberal government to pursue some of those great ideas.”
