Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are calling on the government to facilitate private investment in Canada's energy sector. It has become extremely difficult for companies to invest here, and that means the industry has been dependent on the government for the past decade. Today, oil companies want to invest, but they are hesitant because of delays and the anti-energy policies put in place by the Liberals.
We need to diversify our approaches and build pipelines to access foreign markets. Several countries are clamouring for our natural gas, our liquefied natural gas, or LNG, and our oil. These markets exist, and we need to do more to ensure that pipelines can be built here with private funding.
