Mr. Speaker, that is no answer. That is no transparency, no accountability, no respect for Canadians. Canadians deserve better because Canadian jobs are on the line, including jobs in downtown Calgary. Conservatives and Liberals are all in favour of letting CNOOC and Chinese state-owned companies buy a controlling interest in our oil industry. Why do they not actually talk to Canadians before they agree to this deal?
Thousands of jobs have been lost in the past on these takeovers. Why is the government not pushing for job guarantees? Why are the Conservatives approving this takeover behind closed doors?
