Madam Speaker, I am not sure why she says we should not focus on the negative. She says we should not focus on the loss of $35 billion from the Canadian economy, the drop in GDP that is going to happen on this or the 150,000 job losses that are going to come about because of the emissions cap. That is what she does not want to focus on. She does not want people to know about these kinds of things. She is going to talk about the environment, saying that we have to do so much for the environment. Oil and gas companies have been leading the charge in investments in trying to reduce their methane emissions. They have been working on efficiencies. Over the years, they have actually decreased emissions in their sector on their own, without government mandates. They have been the single biggest driver in making sure that the most ethical, highest standards are met in Canadian oil and energy but that this is also done in a way that it is still affordable for Canadians to have reliable energy. This is the strategic advantage that Canada has, but the Liberal government wants to make it go away. It is a shame.
