#CANADA: People's Party Leader Decries Gov't Inaction On Pipeline; Outlines Agenda

[world politics news]


People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier made a stop in Calgary this past weekend to rally Alberta supporters with a message targeting Ottawa. The Quebec Member of Parliament, who founded the party last year, said he has proposed to "put an end to Ottawa’s intrusions in provincial matters such as health care and education, and to transfer tax points to provinces and let them manage their affairs with complete autonomy."

Bernier said his proposed plan for pipeline construction is to scrap the federal government’s oil tanker and environmental assessment bills, streamline the process for approving pipeline construction and find a private buyer for the Trans Mountain pipeline. The People's Party is a breakaway party from the Conservative Party, led by Andrew Scheer, who narrowly defeated Bernier for the party's leadership contest in 2017.
