Mr. Speaker, Conservative ministers and backbenchers are worried about the takeover of Nexen.
The Minister of State for Finance said that he had heard many concerns: concerns about the resource industry and concerns about a foreign company investing in Canada.
This is an important strategic issue, but the Conservatives have yet to define what is a net benefit for Canada.
Why are the Conservatives consulting CNOOC and Nexen lobbyists, but refusing to consult the public?
