I can respond.
I don't know the exact figures for the companies, so I will trust you on those numbers. Clearly, they're looking to secure the profitability of an industry and companies, and rightly so. It's important that they remain profitable. I'm talking about companies in general, not just those in the oil and gas sector. That said, profitability also means that the companies in question don't need assistance. It would be wrong to assist a profitable company. If they're as profitable as you say they are, then they can't justify getting subsidies or assistance—whatever you want to call it. There's no use debating whether or not they should get subsidies, in my opinion. The question is whether to support these businesses or simply let market forces play out.
