Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney's development agenda is stalled — and he's promising to "legalize" pipelines through new legislation to speed things up.
Poilievre said his party's Canadian Sovereignty Act, if passed, would ensure two pipelines, a new LNG project and a road to Ontario's Ring of Fire will have begun construction by March 14 — the one-year anniversary of Carney becoming prime minister.
"Not a single major pipeline or natural gas facility, a new one, has been identified for approval by the Carney government and we're going in the exact wrong direction," Poilievre said in Calgary Thursday.
"We need to get building now and that's why the Conservative proposal for a Sovereignty Act will take action immediately," he added.
