“With a single corridor, we could minimize environmental impacts, lower the costs of environmental assessments, increase certainty for investors, and, most importantly, get these critical projects done,” says Scheer.
In a speech outlining his vision for Canada’s economy, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer called for the creation of a national energy corridor to facilitate pipeline and power-line construction.
Said Scheer, “With a single corridor, we could minimize environmental impacts, lower the costs of environmental assessments, increase certainty for investors, and, most importantly, get these critical projects done.”
Scheer also called for an end to foreign oil imports by 2030.
He said foreign oil supports “regimes that abuse human rights and take virtually no steps to protect the environment.”
He added, “An energy independent Canada would be a Canada firing on all cylinders — across all sectors and regions. If the United States can do it, so can we.”
Those are good ideas from Scheer, and demonstrate his willingness to take a common-sense approach to Canadian energy – a huge contrast from Trudeau’s anti-Canadian oil, pro-foreign oil agenda.
With the Conservatives being the only party with any chance of defeating the dangerous Trudeau government, the election is shaping up as a clear choice between supporting Canadian energy, or supporting foreign energy.
