e-6454 Natural resources and energy
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
Canada’s natural resources, such as food resources, lumber, pulp, and oil, are predominantly processed and profited from by foreign corporations, leaving Canadians with limited economic benefits and fewer job opportunities;
Public ownership of resource processing facilities would strengthen Canada’s economic sovereignty, create sustainable jobs, and ensure that profits remain within Canada to benefit its citizens;
Heavy reliance on trade with the United States makes Canada complicit in supporting policies and actions that undermine human rights and global stability, while also exposing our economy to unnecessary risk; and
Diversifying trade partnerships and building infrastructure for resource processing in Canada will ensure long-term prosperity, economic stability, and alignment with Canadian values.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to take immediate steps to develop and implement a plan for public ownership and infrastructure to process Canada’s natural resources, including food resources, lumber, pulp, and oil, within Canada to ensure economic sovereignty and long-term prosperity for all Canadians.
