THERE ARE HOPES FOR PIPELINES, ENBRIDGE AND TC ENERGY EXPERIENCE ROBUST DEMAND

Premier Smith;
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE HOPES FOR PIPELINES, ENBRIDGE AND TC ENERGY EXPERIENCE ROBUST DEMAND IN THE U.S. WHILE FACING CHALLENGES IN CANADA.

Despite ambitious pipeline projects, Enbridge and TC Energy are facing an ironic reality. While they experience strong demand for their services in the United States, they are met with obstacles in their home country, Canada. This paradox raises crucial questions about Canada's stance on resource development and its impact on the economy.

The Canadian government's anti-resource development policies have led to a mass exodus of energy companies relocating jobs and pipeline projects to the United States. This is a devastating blow to the Canadian economy, as hundreds of billions of dollars in potential investments are being driven away. It is imperative that the federal government acknowledges the need to foster a business-friendly environment that encourages investment and job creation.

Ottawa must take immediate action to repeal policies that are stifling the growth of the energy sector. The oil and gas emissions cap, net-zero power regulations, and tanker ban are significant obstacles that must be addressed. These policies not only hinder the development of pipeline projects but also compromise Canada's ability to capitalize on its vast natural resources.

As the days turn into weeks, and the weeks into months, Canada is forfeiting thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in potential projects. Meanwhile, the United States continues to benefit from our inaction, solidifying its position as our primary market. It is time for the Canadian government to reassess its priorities and commit to creating an environment that supports the growth of the energy sector.

By doing so, Canada can unlock its full economic potential, create jobs, and strengthen its position as a global energy leader. The time to act is now.
