Where’s the plan, Mr. Carney?

Last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked a simple question: should Canadian energy be put on the negotiating table as leverage in talks with the United States? Certainty from a stronger Canadian supply would improve North American energy security and help protect families from higher gas prices during a crisis. Even the Prime Minister’s own Energy Minister, Tim Hodgson, argued in April that Canada’s energy and natural resources should play a strategic role in CUSMA negotiations. A Canada Energy and Minerals Reserve would make us the anchor of North American energy security and turn our resources into real negotiating power. Here in Battle River — Crowfoot, we know the value of Canadian Energy.
