Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary talked about finding solutions. We have one for him right here.
If he is looking for $4.2 billion that could be invested in making life more affordable for folks in Milton, the same way it would in Kitchener Centre, and if he is wondering where we can find the wealthiest folks to make sure we redirect those funds toward those who need it the most, we have the answer: It is the oil and gas industry, with $38 billion from the top five companies alone. If we even just put a 15% tax on profits above a billion dollars, the way other countries already have, the way economic experts are calling for and the way Canadians are calling for, we could use that money to invest in the public transit I know the parliamentary secretary is a champion for and to invest in retrofitting folks' homes.
The question is the same: If the government pretends to understand the climate crisis and the affordability crisis, why is it not moving quickly to put in place a windfall profit tax on the excess profits of the oil and gas industry?
