Mr. Speaker, what the minister is not saying is that a significant chunk of the money that the government puts into oil comes from Quebec.
For the nine years that the Liberals have been in power, the Bloc has been calling for an emissions cap for oil and gas companies. The Liberals finally promised to implement such a cap three years ago. Two years ago, they tabled draft regulations but did not implement them. They did all that only to end up with regulations that do not require oil companies to produce any results until 2030. It is this inaction that is setting us up for disaster in 2030, not the next election or the opposition parties.
Why is the minister incapable of demanding even a little effort from oil companies before 2030?
