Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois has a solution for tackling the deficit.
At present, the government is still subsidizing the oil and gas industry, despite the fact that, in 2023, it announced a minor measure to phase out subsidies to that industry. In 2024, it was supposed to introduce a new measure to further phase out the subsidies, yet in 2024, the oil and gas industry received $28.5 billion in subsidies.
Will my hon. colleague's government agree to simply get rid of these subsidies to the oil and gas industry?
