Episode notes

- Europe needs replacements for Russian oil, creating potential markets for Canadian energy exports.
- Canada lacks pipeline and port infrastructure and risks losing more from high China tariffs than it gains in energy sales.

- MPs used facilitated sessions and beach conversations to repair internal rifts and plan recovery before returning to Ottawa.
