Michelle's Record: Energy Workers and Pipelines

Michelle Rempel Garner fights for energy workers, and their families. She is a strong voice on the national stage, defending Alberta energy projects.

When the TransMountain Pipeline project was threatened by the Liberal government Michelle took action through:

• Sponsoring a petition (E-1509) calling on the government to use section 92(10)(c) of the Constitution Act to declare the project in the national interest of Canada;
• Voting in favor of a motion put forward by Conservatives in the House of Commons in support of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (which was passed),
• Hosting the Leader of the Official Opposition of Canada and other MPs in Calgary to meet with energy workers, their families, and industry leaders to discuss the importance of the energy sector;
• Consistently raising the importance of pipelines in the House of Commons and asking questions in Parliament and;
• Speaking out loudly in the media and at rallies in support of the energy sector and this project.

Michelle also tabled an official Parliamentary Petition, which called on the federal government to immediately deal with the unfairness of the equalization formula. This means treating provinces like Alberta, who generate wealth and create jobs through the development of our energy resources, the same as provinces that choose to leave their resources in the ground and instead rely on government transfers. Michelle believes that this is simply not fair. She has also repeatedly called on the government to immediately cancel Bill C-69.

Michelle has also regularly spoken out about these issues and you can view her most recent videos here.

Michelle vigorously and strongly opposes Justin Trudeau’s job killing anti energy policies. She will always do so.
