I'll give you the example of my province, Quebec, where a lot of oil is consumed. According to HEC Montréal's recently tabled annual report, annual oil consumption in Quebec stands at over 18 billion litres. This represents an increase of 7%. As long as there is a need for so‑called fossil fuels, we on the opposition side will fight for them to come from Canada rather than abroad.
In that perspective, Mr. White, my question is this: If you refuse support for an oil and gas company because maybe its record is not so good on the green aspect, what can this business do? It can go offshore. Then, at the end of the day, it will have access to funding. Do you think we should have here in Canada a more straight line to help businesses with hydrocarbons, or can we put the emphasis on reducing the emissions when we have a deal with these kinds of companies?
