Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mertins-Kirkwood, there's a lot of talk on Parliament Hill about the carbon tax, obviously, and not enough talk about the profits of oil and gas companies and the sizable increase in profit they've seen over the last couple of years.
New Democrats have proposed a windfall tax. It's something that's being done in other jurisdictions and across the ideological spectrum. There's a Conservative government in the U.K., for instance, that brought in a windfall profit tax.
I wonder if you can speak to the impact of large oil and gas profits on Canadian household budgets and how a windfall tax might be used to remedy some of that situation.
