“A company wants to ship 250,000 barrels of oil a day to Prince Rupert by train, but the tanker ban stops them. The tracks are already there. I want the government to cancel the tanker ban so this project can happen.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister talks about making Canada an energy superpower, yet he continues to stand in the way. Strathcona Resources has a proposal to ship up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day by rail to Prince Rupert, with exports to overseas markets to begin in as little as two years. The railway already exists. The company is ready to pursue the project. What is missing is to repeal the Liberal tanker ban. Will the Liberals finally get out of the way, remove the tanker ban and allow Strathcona Resources to move forward with this proposal, yes or no?”
