Canada is at a crossroads. We can either diversify our export markets and secure a strong and prosperous future.
OR
Remain reliant on the U.S. market and susceptible to tariffs.
Canada’s elected leaders agree.

We are going to aggressively develop projects that are in the national interest in order to protect Canada’s energy security, diversify our trade, and enhance our long-term competitiveness.

Just like the Canadian Pacific Railway connected and united a young Canada, a new generation of infrastructure and resource projects will bring our country together. They'll reduce our dependence on the United States, create new opportunities for Canadian workers, usher in a new century of Canadian prosperity.

With the economic challenges we face right now as a country and as a province, it’s time to pull every lever that we have. We’re rich in resources and we can develop them safely, so it’s time to have that discussion and move forward.

There’s a lot of possibility with a national project that could change the energy landscape in Canada. I’m keen to hear from New Brunswickers about what they think about reviving that [Energy East] project and getting access to Canadian resources that move west to east that land in Saint John.

We all know the story behind Northern Gateway and Energy East. And, you know, those are two projects that I think we as Canadians should certainly become advocates for sooner rather than later. So that we are energy independent not only on a continental basis, but also ensuring that we have access to other markets.

We should be diversifying our economy. We should be diversifying our marketplace. We need to have the flexibility to pivot to other markets.

If you’re not buying oil and gas from Canada and British Columbia, the alternative is Venezuela. We believe that we are a friend and an ally of the United States with shared values around democracy and human rights. And we've demonstrated that through generations.

One thing is abundantly clear.
Canada must take action now and start building the pipelines, powerlines, ports, railways, and roads to kickstart our engine of economic growth: natural resources, reach new markets, and take control of our economic destiny.
