I believe that the witnesses who are here today have already explained why this is the most crucial issue, and what I am trying to reinforce is the point that it's this government that needs to be held to account. These ministers need to be held accountable, because they've been the government and the decision-makers for the last nine years.
What has happened is that investors, entrepreneurs and businesses, because of this government.... They want to invest in Canada. They want to build infrastructure. They want to create powerful paycheques for all people in all communities. They want to pay their taxes, their royalties and their revenue to all three levels of government from their responsible development of energy and other natural resources. They must be able to develop it. They must be able to export it. The loss of hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers' jobs.... By the way, 90% of oil and gas businesses in Canada are businesses with 100 employees and fewer. Those are Canadian homegrown energy businesses.
