Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to see that my colleague and the entire Conservative Party care about Canada's economic balance. I believe that we can find solutions, but if we were to stop spending and invest in oil, we would be digging ourselves an even deeper hole. Does my colleague agree that we must first help the least fortunate, those who are most in need and who have been most affected by the pandemic? I am talking about seniors and low-income families who need social housing. There is a housing shortage. It never ends. It is getting worse and worse every week. Should we not do more to help these people? If we want to permanently fix this problem, we need to decrease our dependence on oil and petroleum and develop new green energies, such as wind and solar energy. Does my colleague agree that we need a permanent, stable and sustainable recovery?
