Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on whether major projects, particularly pipelines and energy development, are getting built in Canada. Pat Kelly of the Conservatives said major projects are not being built under the government, pointing to cancelled pipelines, dropping housing starts, and investment leaving the country, and asked the government to adopt the Conservative plan: repeal what he called antidevelopment laws, remove capital gains taxes on gains reinvested in Canada, and eliminate the industrial carbon tax. Corey Hogan, parliamentary secretary to the minister of natural resources, replied that the government is fixing rules that slowed building for years, noted the Trans Mountain pipeline was built and that oil production and jobs are up while emissions are down, and said several pipeline projects are under construction with another planned for the west coast. Kelly replied that the government should not claim credit for Trans Mountain, saying it drove out the private builder and cost far more than originally expected, and pointed to the cancellation of Northern Gateway; Hogan attributed Trans Mountain’s cost partly to consultation problems under the previous government and defended the pipeline’s profitability.Written by AI from the debate.
