Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his passionate speech.
I strongly agree with one thing in particular that he mentioned. What the government is doing with public money is irresponsible. It is creating record deficits. It is increasing the debt even further, a debt that will have to be paid off by future generations. What is happening is irresponsible. My colleague put it well.
One specific example comes to mind among many. Collectively, this budget allocates $100 billion in tax credits to the oil and gas industry. That is $100 billion in subsidies disguised as tax credits. Not a single Conservative has told me that I am right. Given how passionate my colleague was in his speech, I have a feeling that this time it will work.
Does he agree with me that the $100 billion collectively being given to the oil and gas industry in the form of tax credits epitomizes how irresponsible the current government is being?
