Aaron Gunn Conservative
“The government should end the oil tanker ban. Keeping the ban traps our oil, hurts our dollar, and forces us to sell oil cheaply to the United States. A private company wants to move oil by rail through Prince Rupert. The government should allow this plan so Canada can be energy independent.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals like to talk a big game when it comes to dealing with the United States, yet they refuse to lift the ideological and unscientific tanker ban that land-locks Canadian resources and depresses the Canadian dollar, giving our oil away on the cheap to the Trump administration while Canadians struggle with the cost of living crisis here at home. However, there is now a plan, a private sector proposal, to export Canadian oil by rail through Prince Rupert. Will the Liberal government finally get out of the way, repeal the tanker ban and allow this country, Canada, to achieve true energy independence from the United States?”
