Madam Speaker, does the Prime Minister even have control of his caucus anymore?
Conservatives will keep fighting to boost Canadian paycheques and make energy, food and homes affordable and our economy self-reliant, secure and sovereign. Where is the respect for people who want opportunity, for those who sign equity agreements on pipelines, and for the first nations that drilled, engineered, built and protected the resources for generations? Where is the reconciliation in excluding them from the table?
Conservatives have a path forward: Repeal the anti-resource legislation that hold Canadians back, end the political games that pit region against region and Canadian against Canadian, and approve nation-building pipelines, including one from Alberta to British Columbia and infrastructure from B.C. back to Alberta, with the full participation and equity ownership of indigenous partners.
Liberals will offer excuses. They will accuse. They will fearmonger. They will continue to divide and delay, and to diminish Canada, but Conservatives will deliver. We will ensure that our workers can succeed at home, that indigenous communities can benefit from their own lands and that Canadian energy powers the world ethically, securely and proudly.
The world needs more Canada, not less; more prosperity, not poverty; and more unity, not division. It is time to build, and it is time to grow. It is time to get pipelines in the ground again.
