Mr. Speaker, investment in Canada's energy industry increased nine out of 10 years under the previous Conservative government. Today, we have hit a decade low, with $100 billion in investment losses and major divestments from Royal Dutch Shell and ConocoPhillips totalling nearly $30 billion. Now Kinder Morgan is fleeing Canada in the face of the Liberal plan to phase out our oil sands.
Canadian energy investors are now creating a record number of new jobs outside of Canada as the Liberals block energy projects at home.
With investment at record lows and energy jobs fleeing Canada, why does the natural resources minister keep pretending this is the best he can do?
