for the last 10 years successive Liberal
0:03
governments in Ottawa supported by their
0:05
new Democrat allies have unleashed a
0:08
tidal wave of laws policies and
0:10
political attacks aimed directly at
0:12
Alberta's free economy and in effect
0:15
against the future and livelihoods of
0:17
our people They have blocked new
0:19
pipelines with C69 cancelled multiple
0:22
oil and gas projects and banned the very
0:25
tanker ships needed to carry those
0:27
resources to new markets They have
0:30
stacked an oil and gas production cap on
0:32
top of a crippling industrial carbon tax
0:35
making new energy and agricultural
0:37
projects economically impossible to
0:39
pursue without massive subsidies from
0:41
governments which Ottawa has failed to
0:44
provide and which our taxpayers cannot
0:46
afford This onslaught of anti-energy
0:49
anti-aggriculture and anti-resource
0:51
development policies have scared away
0:53
global investments to the tune of a half
0:56
a trillion dollars driving those
0:58
investments and jobs out of Alberta and
1:00
Canada to much more attractive
1:02
investment climates in the United States
1:05
Asia and the Middle East Having traveled
1:07
much of the world these past few years
1:09
it is evident that Canada is not viewed
1:12
as an attractive place to invest in
1:14
resource development manufacturing or
1:16
agriculture because of our high carbon
1:18
taxes endless red tape and the
1:21
uncertainty and chaos brought about by
1:24
these and other federal government
1:26
policies As a result Canada has fallen
1:29
to dead last in economic growth among
1:32
industrialized nations The world looks
1:34
at us like we've lost our minds We have
1:37
the most abundant and accessible natural
1:39
resources of any country on earth And
1:42
yet we landlock them sell what we do
1:45
produce to a single customer to the
1:46
south of us while enabling polluting
1:49
dictatorships to eat our lunch For
1:51
Albertans these attacks on our province
1:54
by our own federal government have
1:55
become unbearable As I said these
1:59
policies have cost Albertans roughly a
2:01
half a trillion dollars in investment
2:03
and that loss is growing daily It has
2:05
and will continue to cost hundreds of
2:08
thousands of jobs robbing countless
2:10
Albertans and other Canadians of their
2:12
means of providing for their families It
2:14
has cost us a decade of opportunities
2:17
and tens of billions in lost royalties
2:20
that could have been invested in the
2:22
health education infrastructure and
2:24
social services Albertans and Canadians
