Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, if one comes to committee, they will find out the Parliamentary Budget Officer did not have that much help and he did not really feel like it was transparent. He said that in his statements. One other question I have is about ArriveCAN. How much did ArriveCAN cost the taxpayers of Canada, from the concept to the product being used today?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, is the procurement minister saying that her department had nothing to do with procuring the ArriveCAN app?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, we definitely need some further investigation on it. On COVID vaccines, Moderna was originally pegged at 35 million doses per year. It is now 25 million doses for 2022. It went from 35 million to 25 million. Why was there a decrease of 10 million doses?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, it is on her website. That is where I got it from. There is a footnote there. Pfizer is also projected to be 65 million doses a year. Therefore, 25 million doses plus 65 million doses is 90 million doses. How much will those 90 million doses cost the Canadian taxpayer this year?

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, we were talking about transparency tonight. I asked a simple question. How much does it cost to procure 90 million doses for 2022? It should be pretty easy to answer.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, on April 29, the minister appeared before committee and did a fine job, I will admit. I asked her a question about the Prime Minister's $750,000 kitchen renovation at Harrington Lake and she said she would get back to me. I wonder if she has had time to look it up and figure out what comes with the $750,000 kitchen renovation.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I am going to share my time with the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent. I thank the minister for her work tonight. It is quite a feat to put in all the time and to answer all the questions, and I thank her for that. Andrew Kendrick, a naval architect with 40 years' experience, appeared before committee.

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, he was the project manager from 2007 to 2010 for AOPS, so I think he is very well informed. The surface combatant went from $14 billion to $26 billion to $56 billion. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says it could be $77 billion. At what point does the minister say we have got to slow down here and we need to go line by line to understand how this has quadrupled or gone up even more?

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present this petition in support of Bill S-223 and my good friend and colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan. Bill S-223 seeks to combat forced organ harvesting and trafficking. It would make it a criminal offence for a person to go abroad and receive an organ taken without the consent of the person giving the organ.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank all the speakers who have presented this evening. I would especially like to thank my colleagues from Chatham-Kent—Leamington and Beauce. They are both farmers and are very familiar with the costs of operating a farm and making a living at it.

Encouraging Growth of the Cryptoasset Sector Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for Calgary Nose Hill for the bill that she brought forward to attempt to make Canada a leader in the crypto space, which we kind of already are. I heard a couple of comments today from speakers about growth. We have to have certainty before we can continue to grow.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, these are obviously the backstop provinces of my home province of Ontario, his province of Manitoba and all the way to Alberta. I respect the provincial jurisdictions. They should be thought of at the highest level and given the highest regard for what they would like to do.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, I do not know that we need to help them. I think we need to learn from them. If one looks in my area, there is no-till drilling. Huron County was one of the forefathers of no-till drilling. A lot of industries would be well advised to learn from agriculture. I would think it would be great for the Liberal government to recognize all the sequestration that takes place.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, there are all sorts of examples. There is an anaerobic digester in Brockton in my riding. It takes the methane from manure from a large livestock operation, a beef farm operation, and uses the methane to power two modified Cat diesel engines with turbines on them that create electricity.
