Transcript

00:00:00.000 Do you think the Energy East Pipeline project could be revived?
00:00:03.680 And if so, how would you help that come along as Prime Minister if you're elected?
00:00:07.380 I strongly supported the Energy East Pipeline.
00:00:11.020 I think it is insane that we are, here in St. John,
00:00:15.020 we are importing 130,000 barrels of Saudi Arabian Nigerian oil
00:00:21.980 at the same time as our Western producers are blocked from selling their product to other Canadians.
00:00:33.600 Justin Trudeau killed the Energy East Pipeline.
00:00:37.180 His Liberal New Brunswick MPs helped him kill it.
00:00:41.540 They did nothing to champion the jobs of New Brunswickers or of Western Canadians.
00:00:47.080 Common Sense Conservatives will repeal the unconstitutional C-69
00:00:53.960 that blocks development and replace it with a new law that protects the environment,
00:01:02.400 consults First Nations, but gets things built.
00:01:07.240 And I will support Canadian pipelines that deliver Canadian energy to Canadian markets
00:01:15.180 and are built with Canadian steel.
00:01:17.520 That's what it means to bring it home.
00:01:19.120 By the way, today, if we had the Energy East Pipeline,
00:01:23.320 we could pump Western petroleum, put it on a ship, send it to Europe,
00:01:29.560 break European dependence on Putin.
00:01:32.900 Justin Trudeau has a pro-Putin energy policy.
00:01:36.840 He's blocked natural gas liquefaction projects and the Energy East Pipeline,
00:01:42.440 which would have allowed the Europeans to power their economy with clean Canadian energy
00:01:49.020 rather than dirty Russian oil and gas.
00:01:53.960 My common sense plan is the opposite.
00:01:56.400 It's pro-Canadian.
00:01:57.420 It turns dollars for dictators into paychecks for our people.
00:02:01.400 Thank you.
00:02:01.840 Thank you.
00:02:02.280 Thank you.
00:02:02.900 Thank you.
00:02:03.400 Thank you.
00:02:05.280 Thank you.
