Madam Speaker, I would like to point out that Canada subsidizes the oil and gas sector more heavily than any other G20 country. The member talked a lot about subsidies for families, but I would like to talk about subsidies for oil companies. She spoke about the carbon tax. On one hand, the government is taxing carbon, taxing pollution, but then on the other hand, it is subsidizing the polluters. Does she not find that somewhat illogical?

Madam Speaker, 30,000 Canadians and 400 academics have said that we must not invest in carbon capture and storage. When the member for Burnaby South says that the federal government must stop giving subsidies and invest in renewable energy, I would like to know in what year he thinks that should start. It is surely not 2022, because he is supporting the budget, which includes $2.4 billion for carbon capture and storage. When should the government stop the subsidies?
