Mr. Speaker, it would be bad enough for the Prime Minister to want to give our energy jobs to the Americans, who have doubled their production over the last couple of decades, but he wants to actually give our energy jobs over to the Venezuelan, Iranian and Russian dictatorships by cutting Canadian energy production by 35%. The Americans reduced their emissions, while ours went up, by increasing natural gas production and using it to replace dirty coal. We could do exactly the same. Why will the Prime Minister not follow a common-sense plan to produce more clean, green Canadian energy, rather than giving our jobs to dirty dictators?
