Mr. Speaker, I want to point out that money which goes to those energy producers in the gas and oil industry does not necessarily increase pollution. In fact it reduces it.
I want to tell members about the new Shell Upgrader in my riding. It is producing fuel that is much cleaner burning. It cannot sell it for more because it has to be competitive in the marketplace. I put it into my super efficient vehicle and use a scant five litres every 100 kilometres. We are polluting way less than we did 20 or 25 years ago. That money does not increase pollution. It is used for research to reduce pollution.
