Mr. Speaker, $4.5 billion in taxpayers' money is going directly to Houston, Texas. That is eight times more than Kinder Morgan spent on the pipeline. That is $2 billion more than Kinder Morgan itself estimated the pipeline to be worth.
When Kinder Morgan executives made that deal, they called Houston.
They did not say, “Houston, we have a problem”. No, instead, they said, “Houston, it's party time” with $4.5 billion of Canadian taxpayers' money, thanks to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Why is the Liberal government sending $4.5 billion to Texas?
