Mr. Speaker, I must say that the member is right on certain issues. If these cuts went directly to the most polluting elements of the oil industry, I would have no choice but to agree with him. But if they are used to increase production in terms of quantity and to increase sales, then there is also an increase in use. It becomes a vicious circle. Again, this is very typical of the government.
In the House of Commons on October 9th, 2003. See this statement in context.
