Mr. Speaker, yesterday, our colleague from Malpeque told us that Canadian taxpayers are not an ATM for Quebec. That raised a few eyebrows and made me think of something. The Speech from the Throne mentions the environment, but there is absolutely nothing on the forestry industry, not a single word.
When we look carefully at the federal government's finances for the period from 2017 to 2020, we see that roughly $22 billion was spent on the oil industry, but only $827 million was spent on the forestry industry. Are Canadian taxpayers an ATM for the oil industry?
