Question period dealt with the west coast oil tanker ban (Bill C-48). Conservative member David McKenzie said Alberta’s oil and gas sector is vital to the economy and asked the government to support his bill to lift the ban, pointing to a company proposal to ship 250,000 barrels a day by rail from Prince Rupert. Liberal member Corey Hogan replied that the ban, in place in some form since the 1980s, protects the north coast, and pointed to record oil and diesel production, a pipeline to the west coast, and 62,000 jobs added in Calgary this year. McKenzie pressed for the ban’s removal so Canada could export to more markets, and Hogan reiterated the government’s record and its balance between development and protection.Written by AI from the debate.
