Mr. Speaker, the environmental motion that the Bloc Québécois got the House to adopt was about the forest fires. The Prime Minister himself supported the motion, which recognizes that the federal government must do more to combat climate change. I would like to remind him how he voted before we talk about oil and gas. Right now, his government is assessing whether it will approve 16 Suncor projects to drill for oil off the coast of Newfoundland. Does the Prime Minister agree that doing more to combat climate change also means saying no to these types of oil and gas projects?

Mr. Speaker, once again, I am shocked that the Conservatives would say one thing but then do another. With all of the support for Ukraine in our budget, the Conservatives voted against it. With all of the supports for Ukraine through the most difficult time in that country's existence, they voted against it. Then, they stand in the House and suggest that the one way we should help Ukraine is by exporting more oil and gas to western Europe. There is an energy crisis around the world. We need solutions, and we need innovations, but to stand up and suggest that the only thing we should be doing for Ukraine is voting against a budget with all that aid, all those supports and all those defence mechanisms that the minister has applied, and that what we should be doing is sending more oil and gas, is so myopic that I cannot wait to get to summer so I do not have to hear that type of argument anymore.
