Hon. Jean-Guy Dagenais: Minister, as you know, the war in Ukraine has highlighted the fact that oil will not be disappearing tomorrow and certainly not within the next 10 years.

The need is there, and Canada is missing out on economic opportunities for Alberta, Newfoundland and Quebec. You know very well that the prices that companies are paying for oil will be passed on to consumers. You seem to be forgetting that oil has uses beyond fuel for vehicles. What will you do to address inflation, given that you’re unfortunately strongly against the idea of the oil sector having any kind of autonomy?
