Jacob Mantle Conservative
“I want the government to cancel the 2023 Glasgow agreement. That policy stops Canada from investing in oil and gas refineries in other countries, which hurts our ability to sell our energy abroad. Will the Liberals cancel this rule so our export agencies can support Canadian oil and gas projects around the world?”
“Mr. Speaker, I am not asking the member about news today. I am asking him about a policy from 2023, which the government refuses to change. I am not asking about LNG or when the next pipeline will be built because it does not matter if someone gets a pipeline built if their customers cannot refine the product. That is the problem with the Glasgow statement. It prohibits Export Development Canada from investing in those types of refinery capabilities around the world, which would increase the market for Canadian oil and gas. This is, as I said in my original question, just one more Liberal policy that the Prime Minister refuses to change, because he was the one at Glasgow pushing these statements. I do not think a tiger can change its spots. I will repeat my question to the parliamentary secretary. Will the Liberals repeal the Glasgow statement and let Export Development Canada and other export agencies promote Canadian oil and gas development infrastructure around the world?”
