Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is not doing anything. Apart from asking questions in the House, Bloc members are doing absolutely nothing while the minister works, collaborates and holds discussions with Quebec. We started by contributing $50 million. That is a huge amount. Next we paid close to $70 million, and yesterday, $100 million. That is a lot of money. The Bloc should not ridicule these financial efforts. We commend the Quebec government for the enormous amount of work it has done. We applaud the work done by the Government of Canada, which has been also enormous. We will continue to work collaboratively despite what the Bloc wants, which is bickering. There are no quarrels here. We are working together.

Mr. Speaker, when it comes to being out of touch with reality, I think the member is leading the pack. He knows very well that the tax, the price on pollution, does not apply in Quebec. He should know that. What I would like to know is whether he understands the impact that climate change is having on our farmers. Where was he during the floods and forest fires? Where was he when people were displaced? He was asleep at the switch.
