Natural Resources

The debate focused on the repeal of the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act and restrictions on shipping Canadian crude oil. Members of the opposition argued that the existing ban on west coast oil tankers prevents Canadian producers, such as Strathcona Resources, from exporting oil by rail to Prince Rupert, and that the ban has negatively impacted Indigenous energy projects. Members of the government stated that they are working to increase oil exports by building infrastructure and entering into partnerships with provinces and First Nations to facilitate interprovincial and domestic energy projects. During the exchange, members also noted one opposition focus on British Columbia while suggesting the member speaking should address issues closer to home.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
