Mr. Speaker, while the oil companies continue to accumulate huge profits and we witness real collusion, the prices at the pump continue to rise.
The former Minister of Industry could come up with no better idea than to order a study by the Conference Board, where the oil companies are represented. As we expected, it produced nothing.
The public wants the government to take strong action against the oil companies. Will the government finally admit that its study is worthless? While they studied and pussyfooted around, the prices kept rising, and the oil companies made unconscionable profits.
