Canada’s entire economy and the prosperity of our future generations is at risk.
I’m writing to urge you to prioritize our nation’s economic growth and long-term prosperity.
Everyone in Canada agrees that we need to strengthen Canada's economy.
Building a stronger Canada starts with a strong energy and resource sector. The people and businesses behind this sector are the backbone of our economy — creating jobs, supporting communities, and helping Canada compete on the global stage.
They are and have always been the key driver of our nation’s prosperity.
We need to do everything we can to ensure these sectors are able to guide us back to a position of economic strength.
We also need to diversify our global trade relationships so that Canada is not reliant on a single major trading partner. A balanced and secure energy future depends on it.
In order to increase our market access, we need to massively expand our infrastructure. We need more pipelines, ports, roads, railways and powerlines. Please take action to make that happen as quickly as possible.
I hope your government will work to support responsible development and ensure that Canadian workers, businesses, and industries have the tools they need to succeed — both today and in the decades to come.
Thank you for your consideration.
