Madam Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives on how to promote energy in this country.
What we are doing is investing to protect thousands of jobs in Alberta, British Columbia, and across the country. During 10 years, the Conservatives' rigid ideology failed to build pipelines to markets other than the United States, and it failed Canadian workers. When the Prime Minister went to Fort McMurray and met energy sector workers, he told them the government has their back.
This is an investment in hard-working Canadians. The Conservatives might think it is too risky to bet on Canadians, but we do not.
