After nine years, what actually happened is this: In the first two years of your government, you killed two private sector-proposed, dedicated export pipelines—one to export to Asia and one to the east coast, which would have secured energy self-sufficiency for Canadians and export markets in Europe. In fact, TMX just now started operating. Within five years, Canada will be out of pipeline capacity altogether.
It is because of your policies that Canada is now, in 2023, still dependent on the U.S. as its number one customer for oil and gas, while the U.S., since 2015—in every Democrat, then Republican, then Democrat, then Republican administration—has turned the United States from a net importer of oil into a net exporter and Canada's biggest competitor. Because of your anti-development policies, they are still Canada's biggest customer.
How can you be proud of a track record that helps create jobs, build pipelines and send money and investment into the United States while leaving Canadians broke, poor and jobless?
