Mr. Speaker, the Speech from the Throne was nearly 7,000 words long. Energy is Canada's leading export and supports 800,000 jobs, yet there was not a single mention of oil, gas, pipelines or energy workers. Nor was there any mention of a plan to expedite the approval process of more than 20 billion dollars' worth of job-creating energy projects currently stuck in the regulatory queue.
My question is simple: Why not?
