I find that very interesting because you and I have quite opposing views.
There are some government measures that I don't agree with, for example Bill C‑5, which aimed to accelerate the start of construction on certain projects. I'm also thinking of measures in the budget, including the accelerated capital cost allowance, which applies mainly to the oil and gas sectors.
I've been here since 2018. I've seen a lot over that time. Even during the pandemic, with the emissions reduction fund, which benefited only the oil and gas sectors, there was no reduction in emissions. It was a direct subsidy.
So when I look at the government's measures as a whole, from my perspective, I see a government that acts as a facilitator for the oil and gas sectors. On the other hand, I hear people from those sectors saying that it's still not enough for them, that more should be done, that the government should be even more of a facilitator. As elected officials from Quebec, that's the disconnect we have difficulty understanding.
The federal government is making significant investments to support the oil and gas sectors. In response, people in these sectors say it's not enough, that they don't want to invest their own money in it, and that the legislative framework isn't acceptable enough for them.
I don't know whether you see that disconnect as well. I understand just how important the oil and gas sectors are to Alberta, but from outside Alberta, it often seems like you're spoiled children. Let me put it that way.
