Madam Speaker, I will clarify the question I asked my hon. colleague earlier.
I agree with the premise. Canada and Quebec have a huge inflation problem. People are struggling to get by. Food and rent are expensive.
This morning's article revealed that Canada invests $8.5 billion in the oil industry every year. Canada's public spending on fossil fuels is the second-highest in the G20.
Does my colleague think that $8.5 billion could be better spent on things like building social housing, sending cheques to struggling seniors and transferring money to health care systems in dire need, such as Quebec's?
