“I agree with my colleague. Canada does not control its own energy. American companies own our oil sector, and 90 percent of our fossil fuel exports go to the United States. We serve American companies instead of owning our own resources.”
“Mr. Speaker, my Bloc Québécois colleague made an excellent point in closing. We are not masters in our own house because, as he said, U.S. companies own the oil sector. The market is in the U.S. The latest spring economic statement indicated that 90% of our fossil fuel exports go to the United States. We have no market diversification. Why does he suppose the Liberals are unaware of this reality, of our role? We are not owners; we are serving U.S. companies.”
