Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The Liberal government has made so many rules and taxes that nothing can get built without public money. Energy projects can make money on their own. We do not want government subsidies. We want faster permits, lower taxes, and no public money handed to businesses.”
“Madam Speaker, I find it unfortunate that, after 11 years of Liberal government, after all the anti-development laws and taxes the Liberals have created, it takes tax dollars to build anything. Of course, pipelines and other oil and energy infrastructure are extremely profitable without any help from the government. The problem here in Canada is that there are so many obstacles put in place by the government that the state has to take over control from industry and fund the projects using tax dollars, which is a tragedy. That is the consequence of the Liberals’ anti-development policies. We do not want subsidies. We want a free market with speedy permitting, very low taxes and no corporate welfare for any industry.”
