You know, some people say, well, David Eby is going to oppose a pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific.
00:00:10.280
He has no power to block an intra-provincial pipeline.
00:00:18.600
So Mark Carney will try to use David Eby as an excuse for not allowing a pipeline to go ahead.
00:00:28.840
The federal government has the power to go ahead even if the provincial government does not agree.
00:00:36.600
Mark Carney still hasn't stated his position on a pipeline to the Pacific.
00:00:41.000
He still doesn't know what he thinks on the subject eight months after taking the job.
00:00:45.520
As prime minister, I would use my federal legal authority to rapidly permit a pipeline from Hardesty, Alberta to Prince Rupert or Kitimat
00:00:55.300
so that we can move a million barrels of Western Canadian oil to 2.5 billion energy-hungry customers in Asia.
00:01:09.820
It is 4.52 in the afternoon, Thursday, November the 13th.
00:01:13.360
I hope you're having a great Thursday afternoon.
00:01:15.560
I've got my big blue mug of coffee with me right now.
00:01:18.220
And as people were focusing on what Prime Minister Mark Carney had to say regarding his new major projects list,
00:01:26.260
I thought it would be more interesting because I knew what was going to happen.
00:01:29.940
And I know what the outcome of any negotiations Alberta is having with the federal government and Mark Carney regarding a pipeline to the West Coast.
00:01:38.860
I thought it'd be more interesting to listen to what Pierre Paliyev had to say today.
00:01:42.840
He was in Kelowna, and he had a speech and kind of a sit-down Q&A regarding the affordability here in Canada.
00:01:51.340
And he touched on a lot of issues, including the one you saw right off the top of this.
00:01:56.060
And he talks about Mark Carney and his major projects office in this speech today.
00:02:00.380
So other things he touched on included housing, carbon taxes, temporary foreign workers, youth unemployment, crime, tariffs,
00:02:09.040
the lack of a deal with the United States when it came to tariffs as well.
00:02:14.240
And obviously, Paliyev is out there right now, and he is campaigning right now
00:02:18.260
as if there were a vote of non-confidence in the budget.
00:02:21.740
He also talks about that and what the conservatives are going to do regarding deficits and the upcoming budget.
00:02:27.820
So what I've done here is I have trimmed this hour-long video down to about 28 minutes,
00:02:34.420
just the most important parts here because I think it's important for you to hear what Pierre Paliyev has to say,
00:02:40.140
and I thought it would make it easier for you to actually see it if it wasn't quite as long.
00:02:45.400
We'll have parts of his speech, and then we'll get to the Q&A at the end.
00:02:50.040
Well, we want every child that comes into the world in this beautiful country of ours
00:02:54.040
or every newcomer who arrives on our shores to have the same beautiful promise
00:02:57.760
that I enjoyed as a kid growing up in this country.
00:03:01.320
But unfortunately, after 10 long liberal years, that promise, that deal, like everything else, is broken.
00:03:11.000
Housing costs have literally doubled under liberal policies, depriving an entire generation of the chance of owning homes.
00:03:19.920
With British Columbia having some of the most expensive real estate anywhere in the world,
00:03:24.820
Vancouver now is the most expensive housing market in North America.
00:03:29.920
We have housing costs, in fact, have risen 30% faster than incomes, the biggest gap of any G7 country.
00:03:38.680
Now, roughly 80% of our young people who don't yet have homes believe they never will.
00:03:47.520
Of course, it's risen 40% faster in Canada under the liberals than it did in the United States in the exact same period of time.
00:03:56.120
Liberal taxes on our farmers, our food processors, and our truckers is driving those costs higher still.
00:04:03.100
And, of course, a lot of this is the result of liberals doubling our national debt.
00:04:08.260
It seems like that is a future problem, a tomorrow problem, and not a today problem.
00:04:12.620
But, of course, when governments run deficits, they print money.
00:04:15.680
Printing money drives up inflation, and that increases the cost of everything.
00:04:19.580
So it is no coincidence that as liberals doubled the national debt,
00:04:23.140
they also doubled the cost of housing and doubled lineups at our food banks.
00:04:27.640
We have these horrific encampments of homeless people and people addicted to drugs
00:04:35.360
that are now taking over communities that were once tranquil and scenic, risking lives and increasing crime.
00:04:44.280
And, of course, our economy is the weakest in the G7.
00:04:47.120
After Mark Carney promised it would be the fastest growing, it is the fastest shrinking.
00:04:50.740
A half trillion dollars of net investment has fled from Canada since the liberals took office only 10 years ago.
00:05:03.380
That's Canadian money creating American jobs, investing in American industry, and creating American wealth.
00:05:10.740
And so we were hoping that after these 10 years, the liberals might have learned something,
00:05:16.760
that they would introduce, finally, an affordable budget for an affordable future.
00:05:23.380
But instead, we saw from Mark Carney is a costly credit card budget
00:05:29.120
that doubles the deficit that Justin Trudeau left behind,
00:05:33.400
increases the industrial carbon taxes on our farmers, our fish harvesters,
00:05:39.560
and others who produce our food and build our homes.
00:05:44.220
A costly credit card budget that will add 78 billion dollars to our debt in just one year,
00:05:52.400
or a third of a trillion dollars over the next five years.
00:05:56.940
This credit card budget is the most expensive in Canadian history.
00:06:03.500
And I call it a credit card budget because Mark Carney and the liberals are putting the future of our country
00:06:16.080
In fact, this year, the liberals will have us spend 56 billion dollars on interest.
00:06:22.180
To be clear, that is more than the government of Canada spends on healthcare transfers
00:06:31.540
So every time you make a purchase and it is taxed, you're taxed on the GST,
00:06:37.460
know that every single penny will go to pay bankers and bondholders rather than paying doctors and nurses.
00:06:46.940
So in his eight months as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has managed to double Justin Trudeau's deficits.
00:06:54.500
So in other words, Mark Carney costs even more than his liberal predecessor.
00:07:08.080
The industrial carbon tax on steel, concrete, cement, glass, aluminum, plastic,
00:07:16.280
all of the things that are necessary to build a home.
00:07:19.140
You tax the things that go into a home, you tax the home itself.
00:07:25.500
According to the Canadian Home Builders Association,
00:07:28.360
these taxes and the failure to remove other taxes on home building
00:07:32.440
will cost 100,000 construction jobs as government continues to stand in the way of home building.
00:07:41.880
The industrial carbon tax on the farm equipment and the fertilizer of our farmers,
00:07:48.760
in addition to the heavy equipment that goes into food processing facilities,
00:07:53.500
will inevitably get passed on in higher grocery prices that Canadians cannot afford to pay.
00:08:04.260
Conservatives will vote against Mark Carney's costly credit card budget,
00:08:08.960
and we will continue to fight for an affordable budget for an affordable Canada.
00:08:13.860
Now, the irony is that we should be the most affordable country anywhere on earth.
00:08:19.160
In fact, Canada should be a dirt cheap place to eat, to house yourself, and to live your life.
00:08:28.000
We have the second biggest landmass, and much of it is close to places that are urban centers
00:08:36.900
We have the most dirt in which to dig up our resources.
00:08:43.740
In other words, it should be cheap in Canada to buy a home, to feed your family,
00:08:55.300
Everywhere I go, people tell me they just can't afford life anymore.
00:08:58.780
I was just over to Starbucks this morning to caffeinate myself,
00:09:10.860
And he says he can't afford to live here, and his quality of life would be better in Libya.
00:09:14.880
Would you have imagined that someone would say that in Canada?
00:09:18.300
But these are the kinds of stories we hear again and again of people who believe that they've been priced out
00:09:26.960
And, you know, there's a contradiction in the way that liberals approach everything.
00:09:32.840
So why is it that we have the most expensive housing in the G7?
00:09:36.820
Well, we have the fewest homes per capita, even though we have by far the most land to build on.
00:09:43.840
So we have 10 times as much land to build on as the second closest G7 country, and yet we have the fewest homes.
00:09:53.760
Well, because the taxes and bureaucracy block home building.
00:09:57.180
You know, about 50% of the cost of a new home today in Canada is taxes.
00:10:05.140
More money from a new home goes to bureaucrats in offices than goes to the carpenters, electricians, and plumbers who actually build the homes.
00:10:25.000
He has literally created a new government agency called Build Canada Homes that's supposed to help with the problem of too many government agencies.
00:10:35.720
If bureaucracy is the problem, then bureaucracy cannot be the solution.
00:10:41.960
The solution is for government to get out of the way and off the backs of our home builders so builders can build, buyers can buy, and sellers can sell.
00:10:52.840
That is how we're going to unlock affordable homes.
00:10:58.480
Our approach as conservatives will be to get rid of the industrial carbon tax on housing supplies, to get rid of the GST on all new homes.
00:11:07.700
Whether they're bought by a first, second, or third-time home buyer.
00:11:11.860
Everyone should be able to buy a home that if it's less than $1.3 million, it should be 100% tax-free.
00:11:19.500
We should incentivize our provinces and municipalities to cut their taxes as well, and to speed up their permits.
00:11:25.940
We should go from having the second-slowest building permits to the fastest building permits anywhere in the OECD.
00:11:32.780
If we remove the government costs from home building, we could lower the cost of a new home by well over $200,000, which would incentivize more builders to add new supply, increasing employment for our trades workers, and making the dream of home ownership once again possible for every single young person in Canada.
00:11:56.380
You know, people might say, well, how does developing our resources make life more affordable?
00:12:03.100
If we were selling more of our resources to the world, our dollar would be at par.
00:12:07.260
And a stronger dollar would mean that absolutely everything that you buy that is internationally priced, that includes energy or food, would be significantly cheaper.
00:12:19.380
That's one of the reasons why life is so much more affordable south of the border.
00:12:26.240
But, unfortunately, we have seen our energy and resource sector under attack by government bureaucracy and high taxes.
00:12:35.700
The nine bad liberal laws that make it uncompetitive for us to develop our resources.
00:12:42.000
You know, we should be the richest and most affordable country in the world.
00:12:46.860
Canada has the second slowest permits of any country in the OECD to get major projects approved.
00:12:55.020
In fact, in Canada today, it takes 18 years on average to get a mine approved.
00:13:01.580
It takes, for example, 14 years to get an LNG plant approved.
00:13:06.580
In the last decade, the liberals have allowed only – well, it was actually approved by Harper.
00:13:12.200
There's only been one LNG plant completed in Canada.
00:13:16.020
There's been eight south of the border in the United States.
00:13:18.820
And in that same time period, the Qataris have doubled their natural gas production.
00:13:25.100
And the Germans built an import terminal for natural gas within 194 days.
00:13:37.060
Mark Carney's solution, add another bureaucracy.
00:13:41.400
He's created yet another bureaucracy, a new bureaucratic hurdle for miners and oil and gas enterprises
00:13:49.920
and other resource companies to jump through in order to get anything approved.
00:13:55.160
And yet again today, instead of getting things done, Mark Carney was standing up doing photo ops,
00:14:03.300
announcing that he's going to approve a bunch of projects that were already going to happen.
00:14:14.800
This mine, there was a liberal minister, Dominic LeBlanc,
00:14:19.360
who said that his government was going to make sure this project got underway within a year.
00:14:27.460
Now today, Mark Carney is re-announcing that same liberal promise.
00:14:33.180
You know, most of these projects were on the verge of happening anyway,
00:14:36.680
as they have already gone through years and years of liberal bureaucracy.
00:14:41.340
Now Mark Carney is really, when it comes to getting projects approved,
00:14:45.740
he's kind of like the rooster who thinks that he made the sun go up
00:14:49.560
just because he crowed when the sun went up, right?
00:14:55.560
He's just showing up to take credit for things that were going to happen anyway.
00:14:59.940
What we actually need the government to do is something very simple.
00:15:08.960
Remove the nine liberal laws that impose high taxes and bureaucratic delays.
00:15:26.940
Remove all of these obstacles so that our builders can build,
00:15:31.160
our investors can invest, our workers can work,
00:15:34.780
and Canada can take back control of its resource future.
00:15:43.700
So they do this trick in order to justify piling on all of this debt.
00:15:49.340
So the liberals began this promise a decade ago.
00:15:53.360
Well, since they took office, investment in Canada per worker has dropped by 11%.
00:15:58.700
The worst in the G7, the worst in Canadian history.
00:16:02.700
So deficits have not translated into investment.
00:16:05.940
It's kind of like you used to have those alchemists.
00:16:15.240
tell you that they can turn deficits into investment.
00:16:25.440
a half trillion dollars of net investment has left Canada
00:16:30.640
promising that their borrowing would produce that investment.
00:16:34.440
Our workers get half of the investment of their American competitor
00:16:41.640
This means that they don't get the tools and technology.
00:16:44.620
Oh, I think that's the liberals calling me right now.
00:16:47.400
They're asking me to stop talking about their economic record.
00:17:01.700
We need to unlock more investment in our country,
00:17:08.660
and they create government bureaucracies to subsidize investment.
00:17:37.760
for anyone who reinvests proceeds here in Canada.
00:17:46.940
but instead of buying the S&P 500 to retire on,
00:18:03.100
that would come pouring back into ventures in this country.
00:18:07.080
the fastest building permits anywhere in the OECD
00:18:24.760
And then we've got to get rid of the industrial carbon tax
00:18:34.940
And what if we got rid of all taxes on home building?
00:18:58.200
by repealing the catch-and-release liberal laws
00:19:06.900
to keep out the drugs, guns, and human trafficking?
00:19:21.980
so we could bring our loved ones home drug-free?
00:19:38.360
knowing that they could fill the shopping carts
00:19:44.100
rather than worried that they have to turn back items
00:19:49.120
Our young people would be able to start families,
00:19:56.960
and unlock their full potential here in our country.
00:20:25.540
where the Canadian promise is once again restored.
00:20:29.300
That anyone from anywhere can achieve anything.
00:20:43.420
but instead a nation of entrepreneurs and explorers,
00:21:40.360
seemed to steal a number of conservative policies.
00:21:51.800
But he also asked Polyev about what he needed to do
00:22:28.340
This is why you have to vote for the real thing.
00:22:51.360
We have the fastest shrinking economy in the G7.
