I would disagree. Obviously I'm going to disagree. We are not spoiled children. At the end of the day, without reliable energy sources for all Canadians, you wouldn't have heat in your homes. You wouldn't have lights on right now. I'm not sure how you travelled into the office today, but you wouldn't be able to do a lot of things that you do in everyday life. Without energy security, you also don't have food security, so it's not a “nice to have”. It is a must have for all Canadians.
If you look at the Impact Assessment Act and other regulations that were put on the industry, there was no handout to industry. That was not a carrot by any means. It was put in place to match what was happening in the United States from what Biden had put in place. What Biden did increased investment in the United States at that time, and more Canadians flocked to the United States because it was viable for them to do business there. It was not the other way around.
