PrimeTime Politics Weekend
December 7, 2012
Prime Minister Stephen Harper announces new rules for foreign investment by state-owned enterprises in the oilsands, along with the approval of takeover bids by CNOOC and Petronas. Host Martin Stringer speaks with MPs Dan Harris (NDP deputy industry critic) and Wayne Easter (Liberal international trade critic) about the government’s foreign investment announcement. Martin is then joined in the studio by party defence critics Jack Harris (NDP) and John McKay (Liberal) to discuss rumours that the government is re-considering its purchase of F-35 fighter jets. Speculation arose after a report estimated the purchase cost at over $40 billion.
