Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from the Green Party for his question and remarks. Unfortunately, we have given oil companies much more than that. That is part of the problem. What we can do is accelerate the transition. Let us take that money and invest it in every region of Canada to develop innovation. We must look to innovation and rely on the bright people at our colleges and universities to find alternatives. In my opinion, that is part of the solution.

Mr. Speaker, oil and gas companies, as well as big box stores, have made record profits while families are struggling to put food on the table and fill up their tanks. We know that these companies have made record profits. We have a chance to do something about that later on today when we can vote to tax their excess profits and reinvest it into people. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, oil and gas companies and big box stores have made record profits while families are struggling to pay for food and gas. We have a chance to do something about this problem today by taxing big corporations' excess profits and reinvesting that money to help families. Will the Prime Minister protect the interests of ordinary people or big corporations' profits?
