Mr. Prime Minister, Madam Premier, John Bolton from YouTube.
00:00:15.760
Some questions to start from Prime Minister Carney.
00:00:19.760
Mr. Prime Minister, if you really think this pipeline is in the national interest, why
00:00:27.280
not just green light the project? Forget it. Next question. No other countries have an industrial
00:00:36.720
carbon tax on oil. This will raise the price of oil in Alberta from five to fifteen dollars a
00:00:43.640
barrel and make it uncompetitive. How does that make sense? Next question. It's illegal right now
00:00:53.480
Mr. Prime Minister to have tankers take oil from the west coast of Canada. When will you
00:00:59.100
and the Liberal government repeal this law? Mr. Prime Minister, can you tell me how much
00:01:08.500
the temperature of the planet will cool with the $130 industrial carbon tax and the giant
00:01:21.840
This is really a possible, maybe, perhaps pipeline, isn't it?
00:01:27.160
You still have to navigate Indigenous people in Alberta, Indigenous people in British Columbia,
00:01:32.280
and you still have an anti-pipeline law and a tanker law.
00:01:45.400
Let's move on. This is a shovel. Shovel. When do you think one of these will go into the ground,
00:01:56.540
Mr. Prime Minister? One more question for you, Mr. Prime Minister, then I've got one
00:02:03.920
for Premier Danielle Smith. Mr. Prime Minister, this is all performative, isn't it? This is to
00:02:09.780
put on a show, to make it look like you're actually accomplishing something when you're
00:02:14.240
not accomplishing anything at all. You create a new housing office, but you don't build any
00:02:19.140
houses. You create a major projects office, but you don't build any major projects. You say you're
00:02:24.980
bringing down the cost of living for Canadians, but you're not really bringing down the cost of
00:02:30.060
living for Canadians. You say the Liberal Party is making life more affordable, but you're not
00:02:35.360
really making life more affordable. And you say you've got these trade deals that aren't really
00:02:40.580
trade deals at all. Can you explain this? Now, I've got one question for you, Premier
