“Billions of dollars in government subsidies are going to gas projects owned by foreign companies, not Canadian ones. I want the leader of the official opposition to tell us if that bothers him.”
“Mr. Speaker, what a pleasure for me, as the leader of the Green Party of Canada, to be able to put a question to the leader of the official opposition. It is rare that we have this chance leader to leader. I wonder if the member would like to comment on the fact that so many billions of dollars of subsidies are going to projects that are primarily based in the United States. For instance, we hear a lot about Ksi Lisims’ LNG project that will be a floating LNG terminal. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Western LNG, which is, of course, Texas-owned and -based. The so-called LNG Canada operation is 40% Shell oil. Other than Shell, the next owners are Petronas from Malaysia, PetroChina and Korea’s state-owned gas company. There is nothing Canadian about it, except the name. Does this bother the leader of the official opposition?”
