Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague from Vaughan—Woodbridge for his speech. The purpose of the bill is to ensure efficiency and transparency in air transportation. I want my colleague to understand that my region has practically no air transportation. Air Canada closed its offices in June 2020, at the height of the pandemic. It tried to justify its decision by saying that there was no traffic. All planes were grounded. I would like my colleague to comment on whether he thinks it is responsible for the federal government to spend billions of dollars subsidizing airlines that do not even provide regional service in many regions of Quebec.

  • Re: Bill C-30 
Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. He made several references to wanting to help families. In Bill C‑30, the measure seeking to introduce a non-refundable tax credit to help the people who need it, that is, the most vulnerable and low-income Canadians, will cost the government $2.5 billion. In the last budget, the same government subsidized oil companies to the tune of $2.6 billion to deploy new carbon capture technologies. What is more important? Is it subsidizing oil companies or helping low-income families that really need it?
