An executive from the Montreal company that repaired a turbine for a Russian gas pipeline earlier this year says it sought an export permit to get “guidance” from Ottawa.
Controversy erupted this summer after Canada approved the delivery of the turbine to Germany, despite its simultaneous attempts to punish Russian companies during the invasion of Ukraine.
Two months later, he said, the German government advised Siemens headquarters and the Canadian government that an energy crisis was unfolding in Germany that “would affect multiple countries in Europe.” Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, who signed a two-year export permit in July, told the Foreign Affairs Committee earlier in its study of the controversy that Canada did so to ease Europe's energy woes.
Wohlschlegel said turbines must undergo maintenance at about every 25,000 hours of operation, or every three or four years. The turbine would normally have been sent straight to Russia for use in a compression station there. Wohlschlegel said it was the company's understanding that sending it to Germany instead was “the instruction from the Canadian government.”
At the end of the committee meeting, Conservatives gave notice that they will move to ask the committee to report back to the House of Commons urging the government to “immediately revoke” the additional permits.
