Madam Speaker, the member for Lethbridge is correct when she is talking about the increase in oil prices, diesel prices and gas prices. However, that has coincided with a massive profit increase in the oil and gas industry. Since 2019, their net profits have gone up by over 1,000%. I am curious as to why the Conservatives keep ignoring the elephant in the room. Is it willful ignorance, or are they that afraid of confronting their political masters in the oil and gas lobby?

Madam Speaker, the $30 billion could have been allocated differently. Oil companies do not need money. Our families do. People are trying to find housing and there is none. Why wait until after 2025 to provide money for housing? It makes no sense. The government is not taking action. I think that families and children are what is most important.

Madam Speaker, my colleague gave a very down-to-earth presentation describing what the Bloc Québécois had proposed to really help people. When she talked about the billions of dollars going to oil companies compared to what could have been done, she listed a lot of things. She was full of ideas. I would like to know which of these ideas she would prioritize if money could be diverted from the oil companies to something else. What would be her priority?
