Mr. Speaker, while climate change-fuelled wildfires burned over 175,000 square kilometres of area across the country this year, oil and gas companies are gouging Canadians at the pumps and raking in record-breaking profits.
The Liberals have already imposed a windfall profit tax on banks and life insurance companies. The Greens have put forward a motion to apply this same tax to the oil and gas industry to help fund proven climate solutions. Will the minister commit to this responsible, reasonable measure and tax those most responsible for the crisis?
