“The Prime Minister wants pipelines because he is a dirty oil nationalist. Quebeckers don't want them and shouldn't have to pay billions for them. The sovereign wealth fund is just a gimmick to finance oil companies. No matter how many maple leaves he puts on the pipelines, Quebec will never want them.”

The topic was natural resources. MPs talked about Canadian nationalism, building new pipelines, and investing in mining and clean technologies.
“The Prime Minister said he's a nationalist who wants Canada to control its own destiny. We're using a sovereign wealth fund, investing in oil and gas, and renewable energy. The government should use your money to invest in everything.”
“I'm against building a new pipeline. It won't make money. No company wants to build it. But the Prime Minister says he wants Canadian nationalism. So he puts billions of public dollars into a pipeline anyway. Why should Quebec pay for that?”
“The government is spending money in Quebec. We made a graphite mine and a bigger port. That's a lot of jobs. Quebec should be happy.”
