Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we understand the frustration and care deeply about supporting our energy sector. We know that the solution is to build pipeline capacity and expand to global markets. That is the work we have been doing and will continue to do. Currently, there is no consensus wit

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. The piece of legislation, Bill C-69, would encourage further investments because it would give investors greater certainty through short timelines, early engagement and one project meaning one review. The Conservatives can focus on rhetoric. We

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, as I said before, Bill C-69 means one project one review, to give certainty to the industry. Let me tell my colleagues that the horizon is actually looking very well for the energy sector. I know the current times are difficult. However, over the next 10 years, the

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we understand the frustration and we care deeply about supporting our energy sector. Our focus is on ensuring that every barrel of Alberta oil gets its full value. That is why our government has made addressing this national issue an urgent priority. We know that the

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, Bill C-69's better rules would lead to more timely and predictable reviews, and encourage further investments in Canada's natural resources sector and in our people. The Conservatives gutted this process, and we see the results. Nine-nine percent of our oil exports w

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, while the previous government failed to get the job done, we are taking decisive action and seeing results. We secured the largest private sector investment made in history through the $40-billion LNG Canada project. We are helping producers build up refining capac

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for St. John's East for his really hard work here in Ottawa. In the fall economic statement, our government expanded the mineral exploration tax credit for five years. This extension will provide junior mining companies and investors

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we are focused on getting our energy sector up and running, and investing in our energy sector. That is why, at this moment, the Minister of Natural Resources is in discussions with indigenous communities in B.C., to make sure that the Trans Mountain expansion pipel

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we need Bill C-69 for industry to know before they start a project what the rules and regulations are, and to make sure that when they are investing, the rules are clear. The previous government would play games and have no record to show for it. In 2006, basically

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, I totally understand where the member is coming from and the challenges that Albertans see in that. However, we are working really hard to ensure we move on the Trans Mountain expansion project in the right way. Actually, the minister is in B.C. right now, consulti

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, it is true. Individuals from the oil sands sector have visited Ottawa and told us that at the end of the day, we should not get involved in this situation. We should not pick winners and losers in the sense that we should not try to shut down the supply right now a

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, we are focused right now on our energy sector. It is in a difficult situation, and we know the reason for that is because we do not have access to new markets. We need to expand our energy sector to new markets and that is what Canadians expect. They know that cont

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, getting regulatory processes right is something the Canadian population expects and deserves. We are focused on to getting that right. Bill C-69 would provide one project, one review and ensure that if it were contested in court, it would withstand the court challe

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her great question. The mining sector back home in Sudbury has indeed had its ups and downs. There are some very clear lessons to be learned from that. Fifty years ago, Sudbury was known as the most polluted city in Canada. There were

Canada's Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, I would begin by saying that all members share the sense of urgency about the current situation facing Albertans. When Alberta is hurting, Canada is hurting. As the Prime Minister has said, this is a crisis and not just for Albertans, not just for western Canada, b
