Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my colleague from the Bloc Québécois a few questions about the costs of oil and gas.
She had some good questions: What are the costs of remediating this land and what are the costs of pollution that society bears on behalf of the oil and gas industry?
Inasmuch as there are some effects of every industry we have, does she know about the amount of tax, the amount of economic rent, that is paid by the oil and gas industry to governments across Canada to take care of all of these things? There is approximately $24 billion a year, plus another couple of billion dollars a year in excise taxes, that are brought to this equation by this industry to deal with all our health care, all our education, all the things that contribute to our society. Can she comment on that, please?
