“The oil price differential is costing the Canadian economy $80 to $100 million a day. It’s Minister Morneau’s job to defend the treasury of this country and I don’t see him doing that,” said McLean, who revealed that he’s running for the Conservative Party nomination in Calgary Centre.

“For a guy who’s running a $20-billion deficit, this differential loss is half of that."
