Mr. Speaker, support among Conservatives is crumbling on Nexen. In today's paper it is said:
[W]e should resist state ownership...of agencies of foreign governments.... [The] decision must ultimately be capable of carrying the judgment of a majority of Canadians.... More than 60 per cent of Canadians currently oppose what they know of the deal.
Who was that? It was the Prime Minister's own mentor, former Reform leader Preston Manning. He says that the NDP and Canadians are right on Nexen.
Why are the Conservatives ignoring concerns about this sellout of Alberta's natural resources?
