Mr. Speaker, I will take the little time remaining after the remarks made by the hon. member for the Canadian Alliance.
It is quite simple. This is an opportunity for us to ask questions, when faced with a bill like this one, which takes responsibility away from those who would invest in a seemingly complex and dangerous energy source. And it is—let us not pretend otherwise.
I have a simple question for the hon. member. He said “I hope that all the hon. members will be reasonable”. Does he think it reasonable—and I would ask all the hon. members present the same question—to talk about the Government of Canada investing $66 billion in fossil energies, as well as another $6 billion in nuclear energy? That is a total of $72 billion in pollution-creating energy sources, the kinds of energy that are dangerous and that pollute.
Why has Quebec not received an investment comparable to the $72 billion that the rest of Canada received to develop those energy sources? At the same time, Quebec has been developing a very environmentally friendly source of energy—hydroelectricity—and Quebec is also interested in developing wind power.
Today, can he also say “Let us be reasonable so that Quebec can develop those kinds of energy sources and so that the Canadian government will help Quebec and Quebeckers develop their own energy sources”?
