Emergency debate in the House tonight on Teck Frontier withdrawal

The request for the special sitting to discuss the company's decision came from Alberta Conservative MP and natural resource critic Shannon Stubbs. Liberal MP and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota granted the request, and the debate is slated to begin around 6:30 p.m. EST.Specifically, Stubbs raised concerns about the national economic impact and the effects the withdrawal will have on the natural resource sector.

On Sunday evening, in a letter to the federal minister of environment and climate change, Teck CEO and President Don Lindsay said the decision was "difficult" to make. "This does not yet exist here today and, unfortunately, the growing debate around this issue has placed Frontier and our company squarely at the nexus of much broader issues that need to be resolved."

We THE CANADIAN citizens are going bankrupt.!!!! This government has killed the cash cow! I use to work in the energy sector. JT and his merry band don't give a rat's ass about us!!!!!. I have worked 2 months since October 2018!!!

The debate should be how to prevent people from panicking about carnovirus and setimg up shop in all majore cities to help eleviviate other medical clinics by soly dealing with flu and cold symptoms

As uaual, dear JustinTrudeau is a day late and a dollar short.

Thx 4 heads up. 👍 At 1st I thought Oh, a mtg of Crisis Intervention Committee Mtg. It’s for real, CPAC_TV

You mean a Liberal celebration party! Got what they wanted

we need a vote of non-confidence to get this idiot out asap

To bad so sad, not

raytoutofer Why even bother? Lib Socialists et al are all against it. It's a done deal. They would have cancelled it even if Teck hadn't stopped it. Teck will start it up again once Conservatives get a majority. This way, they're not waiting for cabinet approval for the next 2 years.

And yet another person speaks up against this scam the current gov’t is supporting. Funded by tides, etc.

JT always slower than molasses in January!

Thanks to the weak willed Trudeau gang. A few old geezer heredity chiefs made the Trudeau gang cower in the shadows of conciliatory foolishness as these old chiefs pranced around the country drumming up support to lay-off workers and harm the economy.

Teck Frontier withdrawal is a Trudeau and Liberal failure for Canadians and Indigenous communities. If this project was in Quebec it would have been approved immediately.

Don Braid: Cancelled Teck Frontier means even First Nations’ support can’t get projects builtTeck Resources said Canada must balance its energy industry with climate goals lest future economic projects get trashed I wonder if Trudeau will buy the project off Teck? Seriously - what energy project of any material size can get built in Canada now...ie new ones starting from today. Absolutely nothing is the answer. Just wait for the long-term fall-out my fellow 🇨🇦 Teck pulling out was a fantastic decision! They could read the writing on the wall for the Tarsands. It was a bad project from day 1. 293 pristine sq. Km. saved! Kenney should resign for betting the province of Alberta on a dying industry. $4B taken from Alberduh for NOTHING!

Teck Resources pulls Frontier oilsands mine project, blaming divisive debate over climate changeFor Alberta, which has struggled with the downturn in oil prices since 2014, Frontier would have been a boon Poke in the eye for Trudeau. Too much political unrest with a very weak P.M. You guys pick and choose what to put in your headline. Is that the principal reason it was dropped or the fact that the market doesn't dictate the investment? Divisive debate. Translation : Inept leadership
