So far, the Liberals have announced about 11 projects with some already being built and some already being approved. Apparently, they're going to the MPO, which hasn't approved a single thing. There are 72 real projects with real private sector proponents in front of the three federal regulators. They are in limbo land while these guys create yet another layer, an expensive office, and say that it's going to get things built at speeds not seen in generations. However, not a single thing has been built, except things that have already been approved.
The Liberals killed a dedicated export pipeline to Asia, when they should have redone the indigenous consultation. That was over a decade ago. Northern gateway would be operating out of my riding, in Bruderheim, if that were the case. They killed a west-east pipeline for Canadian energy security and exports to Europe through death by delay, and they kept moving the goalposts deliberately for domestic politics. Then, they had to buy TMX, because they wouldn't clear the path for certainty for the proponent to actually build the pipeline once it was approved. Now it's on the taxpayers' dime.
Would you agree that the government needs to fix the fundamental laws and regulations it admits to blocking? Then every investor and every proponent across the entire spectrum of energy development in Canada could have certainty to propose and build projects. They would know that they would get the green light and that the government would back them. They could create jobs and contribute to all the communities across the country. All three of you have articulated that.
