Madam Speaker, I find it quite surprising that the Conservatives are asking the government to get out of the way in order to ensure Canada's sovereignty. I would remind my colleague that the last oil and gas infrastructure project to be built was the Trans Mountain expansion. It collectively cost us $34 billion. No oil and gas company is willing to invest in oil and gas infrastructure because they know that it is not profitable in the long term.
This is even more shocking when you consider that 60% of the major oil companies are American owned. What my colleague is saying, ultimately, is that we should invest Canadian money to make profits for large American oil companies. Is that her view of Canadian sovereignty?
