Members’ Statement
February 15, 2022
Mr. Len Webber (Calgary Confederation, CPC): Mr. Speaker, hardworking Canadians are frustrated with this Liberal government and rightfully so.
We see oil tankers, full, coming in on the East Coast, from dictatorships, human-rights abusers and those who have no respect for the environment.
Yet, our ethically produced, environmentally responsible, job creating Alberta oil is blocked from getting to market.
Canada is blessed with the 3rd-largest proven oil reserves on the planet.
We have among the toughest environmental and employment standards.
We have the foundation to be an energy independent country with enough left over to export.
That is why it is so unacceptable that Canada imports energy from 114 other countries.
It’s time for this Liberal government to end energy imports…
It’s time for this Liberal government to support Canada’s energy independence…
It’s time for this Liberal government to support Canadians.
