Madam Speaker, I have had the pleasure of working with my colleague for many months on the Standing Committee on Finance.
At the beginning of his speech, my colleague criticized the fact that the government is a big spender. In my opinion, what it spends the most on is support for the fossil fuel industry, including oil and gas and the oil sands. We can talk about the Trans Mountain pipeline, which cost $34 billion, but we can also talk about the Minister of Finance's plan, which will cost $83 billion. This includes, among other things, carbon capture and nuclear plants in the oil sands to make hydrogen from the gas saved. That is $83 billion on top of the $34 billion.
Does my hon. colleague believe, as I do, that these expenses should be reduced?
