Mr. Speaker, Canadians continue to ask the federal government to take a leadership role to deal with the energy price crisis.
Yesterday Yukon energy minister Trevor Harding wrote to the federal government saying:
Given the public's concern about increased fuel prices, I believe it is critical for the federal government to play a leadership role, and I urge you to convene a meeting of your provincial and territorial counterparts...to discuss common strategies for addressing this matter.
Other provinces have approached the government as well.
My question is for the Minister of Natural Resources. Will he agree to convene an energy summit of the provinces, the territories, the oil companies and other stakeholders to address the soaring energy prices?
