Mr. Speaker, I did not see it coming, but that is an excellent question.
As I said in my introduction, we have nothing against the program. We believe that climate change is real and has to be addressed, because there is definitely a problem when it comes to climate. I think that everyone agrees on that, but we do not agree on how to address it. In our view, the right approach is to tell businesses to develop solutions, new ways of doing things and new technologies so that we can deal with the situation and combat climate change. We do not think that punishing people is the right way to get there.
Unfortunately, almost half a billion dollars has been granted to the wrong companies, companies that had no right to that money or that were owned by board members. This has prevented organizations and companies in our ridings from accessing the program, although they are entirely capable of revolutionizing our approach to climate change.
The program is not necessarily the problem. It is the people who manage it.
