Local MP says new federal budget does nothing for the Peace Country

Apr 7, 2022 | 6:25 PM

The MP for Grande Prairie-Mackenzie says the new federal budget does nothing for the Peace Country.

In a news release, Chris Warkentin charges that Liberal policies are hurting communities here.

“Communities across Canada that rely on agriculture, forestry, and energy industries like our communities in the Peace Country, continue to suffer because of the Trudeau Liberal government’s destructive policies.”

He adds in the same release that the Liberals need to “get behind the development of all our energy resources.”

“Canada’s oil and natural gas industry can and should become the world’s energy supplier of choice. Canada could meet this demand and take advantage of these opportunities by supplying the growing need with ethically sourced Canadian oil and gas. The world has wanted Canada’s natural gas and oil for years and that hasn’t changed. Energy demand continues to grow, and Canada can provide energy resources to the world while at the same time create jobs for Canadians.”

Warkentin says the government has also missed opportunities to cut red tape and reduce regulations for businesses.

He also says “More out-of-control government spending leads to out-of-control consumer prices. Canadians can’t afford to pay higher costs and higher taxes. Canadians are struggling to pay their bills and put groceries on their table.”
