Madam Chair, there are a number of things we do not agree on entirely.
There have been a lot of meetings. Some 1,300 meetings were held for the entire oil lobby in Canada in 2022. The department hosted 104 meetings, most of them with senior officials, and the minister has held 30 meetings in the last five months.
Was the budget designed and concocted in collaboration with the oil and gas industry? Were these meetings held to discuss net-zero emissions, for example, or to ask for more public funding?
