Mr. Speaker, the truth is that the Minister of Industry continues to bungle the CNOOC-Nexen deal.
There is no transparency in the process, no clear criteria for net benefit, and he missed the deadline for the national security review. Even company CEOs, like those at Petronas are saying, “At this point, the whole industry has no clue”.
Now the chief of staff is doing the minister's job. Conservatives do not have confidence. Canadians do not have confidence. How can anyone have confidence in this minister when no one can trust him to do his job?
When will the chief of staff deliver these so-called new rules? Does the minister have a clue?
