Why? What was the cost of this? How does that hinder the budget or the economy in any way?
The argument is likely that a large percentage of Canada's non US economy is based on resource extraction. Those sectors are probably getting a lot of time with government as Canada tries to pivot away from the US.
This is still bullshit.
Our resources need to be nationalized anyways. Every mineral, every gas, every oil, every tree, all electricity production and transportation. It should all be nationalized and available at lower cost within Canada for transformation purposes, so for making petrol for vehicles, natural gas and electricity for homes and businesses, lumber for building and housing construction and furniture, minerals for manufacturing all kinds of products, etc. And everything we sell internationally should be sold at a regular price. This would stimulate the local manufacturing sector and make us more independent and allow us to receive revenue from trade which we can use to subsidize our businesses and finance our social services.
We could have tight control and regulation on these things to be held to the highest standards and lowest environmental impact.
