The government is saying that it will eliminate inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels but neglects to define “inefficient”. How interesting.
We heard Mr. Winterhalt from Export Development Canada at a previous meeting. I asked him a question about a very interesting statement made by Mr. Guilbeault during the last election campaign. He said that there would be no more direct or indirect subsidies and no more tax breaks for the oil and gas sector as of 2023.
Mr. Winterhalt's answer surprised me. He said that in 2023, there would still be some indirect subsidies as well as tax breaks for the oil and gas sector. Is Mr. Winterhalt's answer in line with your promise? Is it in line with the government's commitment?
