Members’ Statement
December 14, 2022

Mr. Len Webber (Calgary Confederation, CPC):  Mr. Speaker, the building of coal plants in China and the war in Ukraine show that Canada has a greater role to play in the global energy market.

If we better supply the world with energy, oil, gas and LNG, then dictators from oil-rich countries will not be able to fund their wars.

If we better supply the world with our environmentally responsible energy products, then we can provide better alternatives to the resurgence of coal in China.

If we better supply the world with our Canadian LNG, we could help make real progress on lowering emissions by providing a cleaner alternative to coal.

If we better supply the world with Canadian energy, we create jobs in Canada, we can build better communities in Canada and we can do our part for the environment and for global security.

We have the product. We have the people. We have the skills and knowledge.

What we do not have is a government to champion Canadian energy.
