Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his great speech. To summarize it briefly, he said that the money needs to go to the right place and that we need to manage the money better here, in terms of the public finances and so on. There is one thing that I know. Right now, today, oil companies are making $200 billion in profit. Then, the Conservatives are telling us that it costs a lot to heat a home, that the price of gas is rising, that the cost of every fossil fuel is skyrocketing, and that all of these things are hard for taxpayers. If the oil companies are making $200 billion in profit and the Canadian government continues to provide them with $83 billion in subsidies from now until 2035, can my colleague tell me whether he is actually serious when he asks where the money is going?
