Carney cabinet 'united' on pipelines, despite contradicting Guilbeault remark: Liberal MP — Global News
After making a remark that differed to the one Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault made, Secretary of State for Rural Development Buckley Belanger ensured reporters Wednesday that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet was “all united” in regards to Canadian pipelines...
Guilbeault will be supervising the implementation of the Online Streaming Act, a 2023 law that enables the feds to impose content controls over much of the Canadian internet.
Tuesday’s cabinet shuffle retained Guilbeault in his pre-election post as minister of Canadian Identity and Culture. The position gives him oversight over the CBC, Parks Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, among others.
At the time of Parliament’s dissolution, federal agencies had only just begun the process of applying the terms of the Online Streaming Act, but it had not yet yielded any noticeable changes to how Canadians were able to consume content from sites like Netflix or Disney+.
The Online Streaming Act effectively requires internet companies to follow the same rules on “Canadian content” as traditional TV and radio broadcasters.
It seems that incompetence is a requirement for government jobs. No wonder we're in trouble & it'll only get worse!View attachment 29156
Buddy, seriously, there’s a reason you’re moved sideways to the Cultural Porfolio & in charge of Left-Handed Quebecois or whatever…so just shut the Hell up already!
Carney also opened the door to make changes to the emissions cap on oil and gas production and to the federal legislation for reviewing projects called the Impact Assessment Act.
During the campaign Carney said he would keep the emissions cap in place.
Canada's oil and gas sector has indicated no desire to build new pipelines under the current regulatory environment and have asked for the cap and the assessment law to be repealed.

The old environment minister needs to accept that he’s not the environment minister any longer also.
The problem is not that the Natural Resources department has been standing in the way of natural resource development in this country; the problem has been the environmental regulations that come out of the Environment Ministry. The Environment Ministry is huge now and much larger than it was 10 years ago. It has many more levers over the Canadian economy and the people in the Environment Department seem to be quite prepared to use all of them.
The fact is that we have basically, to be blunt, the kind of a standard issue, downtown Toronto, social justice activist, kind of do-gooder, NGO type person as minister (Julie Dabrusin).
“There is a long history of ‘we have to keep oil and gas in the ground and keep Alberta and Saskatchewan from growing if we’re going to save the planet’. If that’s the approach of the government, then we’re in for a very difficult couple of years.”
Lang, a former chief of staff to two Liberal defence ministers, said his first impression is that there are far too many Trudeau-era ministers in this cabinet.
“I count 11 out of 28 – about 40 per cent of this cabinet are former Trudeau-era ministers. There is no reason for that. Mr. Carney owes none of these people anything. And he had an opportunity here to really show change in this cabinet, and he chose not to,” he said. “It’s more than about optics. It’s about competence.
The last Trudeau government’s great failing was its relative lack of competence in governing. I don’t know how you improve the competence in your governing when 40 per cent of your ministers are from a government that was less than competent.”
