Mr. Speaker, that answer is exactly why the Liberals should clear this up, because the public interest must be protected in an office that advises on projects potentially worth $200 billion. However, the Liberals will not name the companies that help pay MPO staff, so Canadians cannot tell whose interests come first in government decisions worth billions of dollars. “National interest” is not an
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals promised to get projects built faster. Instead, they built an expensive office but will not tell Canadians which companies help pay its staff who may influence decisions about those companies' projects. Yesterday, the Minister of Energy dismissed questions about potential corporate conflicts as “conspiracy theories”, but what is suspicious is the refusal to disclose
Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of Liberals, there are two worlds: one where Canadians follow the rules and count every dollar but cannot get ahead, and another where political and business insiders get a seat at the big table and make up their own rules. Companies pay staff in the Liberal Major Projects Office, which makes decisions worth billions of private and public dollars. I questioned it six

Strathcona Resources proposes to ship 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert. It is a Canadian company, Canadian oil, Canadian jobs and a direct deepwater route to Asia, but the Liberals' job-killing Canadian oil exports ban blocks it. C-48 Will the
Mr. Speaker, no other major energy producer in the world derails and stops its own exports like the Liberals do to Canada. During the last antidevelopment decade, smaller companies got killed. Multinationals moved investment out but got golden handshakes from the Liberals. Canadian-owned Strathcona invested more in Canada and does not want tax dollars. If the Liberals mean a single word about
Madam Speaker, Food Banks Canada just reported a record 2.3 million visits in one month, up 117% since 2019, with nearly 800,000 by children, and one in five visitors has a job. Think about that. Working Canadians cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. Meanwhile, Liberal announcements keep piling up, but so do all the bills. Canadians cannot take another Liberal promise to the
Madam Speaker, no one can afford another out-of-touch Liberal lecture about how good they have it, just like that. Prime Minister Alberta food bank visits have soared 156% since 2019. Food prices have jumped 30%. Higher fuel costs hit farmers, truckers, stores and families alike. The Conservatives proposed cutting all federal diesel taxes until Canada Day. The Liberals defeated it. Theadmits
