Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, the committee resumed its study of Canada’s clean energy plans in the context of North American energy transformation.

Motion

Shannon Stubbs moved, — That, given the fact that Qatar has signed a liquified natural gas (LNG) deal with France for 27 years, for 3.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), and given the fact Qatar has signed an LNG deal with Germany for 15 years, for two MTPA, and given the fact the German Chancellor called on Canada for more LNG, saying "As Germany is moving away from Russian energy at warp speed, Canada is our partner of choice. This means increasing our LNG imports. We hope that Canadian LNG will play a major role in this.", and given the fact when the current Liberal prime minister took office there were 18 LNG terminals proposed and after eight years of his government, zero have been completed, the committee call on the House to denounce the regulatory regime established by this government that has not completed a single LNG terminal; and that the committee report to the House its opinion that Canada should do everything it can to export its clean energy to the world.

Debate arose thereon.
