The Trudeau government has once again introduced legislation that will hurt Canadian companies while helping their foreign competitors.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest move is not only hurtful to everyone who works in the oil and gas industry, it’s harmful to all the tax-paying companies and workers across Canada that supply parts, supplies and services to Canada’s energy industry.

The situation involves Bill C-69, legislation that was tabled by the federal government earlier this year. If passed, the legislation would complicate the process for reviewing energy projects.

According to the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA), the legislation would have a devastating impact. If Bill C-69 passes, CEPA notes, “it is difficult to imagine that a new major pipeline could be built in Canada.”

Among many new changes, the legislation would expand the current consultation process with aboriginal communities as well as require “gender-based analysis” before a Canadian energy project proceeds.
