Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will continue with Mr. Husk.
I would like to congratulate you, Mr. Husk, for your UMQ video clip that you made recently. It was very interesting and very well done. I'm also thinking about the fact that we both participated in this summer's campaign to leave the car at home when commuting to work. So we cycled to work this summer. This is the kind of thing you spoke about earlier—active transportation—that we need to encourage. I think it's important to talk about it.
You talked about the FCM, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and the fact that it was given a green fund of $550 million. On Monday, a representative from the green fund came to appear before us, and I asked her if projects are sometimes turned down. She told me that it happens often, if not all the time, because she can only give funds to the best projects since there currently isn't enough money.
As you may know, $1.3 billion is currently being paid annually as a subsidy to oil, gas and other fossil fuel industries. So that would be money we could transfer to the green fund to have infrastructures that improve energy efficiency. I am also thinking, for example, about our next university in Drummondville, about the library and about exhibition centres where we could have a solar wall, a green roof and things like that, but you need funding for that.
You spoke about eco-conditional funding. Could you elaborate on that?
