Obviously, Mr. Speaker, looking at things in a general way, a government must be responsible and correct mistakes that were made. The federal Liberal government made a huge mistake in withholding the guaranteed income supplement from seniors. Naturally, the government did what it had to do to find these people and do them justice.
But, when I am asked, I still have to be honest. Will these tax cuts given to oil companies prevent the government from reimbursing the guaranteed income supplement to those from whom it was withheld? I think that these people must receive the money to which they are entitled.
But the tax cuts given to oil companies will hurt another government activity that has to do with the oil industry, and that is investing in renewable energies. A government must be responsible, and this is exactly what this government is not doing.
The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing, and that creates total chaos. This brings me back to what I was saying earlier about the two headless chickens that do not know where they are going.
Who gets hurt as a result? The environment and our future, which means the general public and our children.
