Mr. Speaker, I want to commend my colleague's speech.
The Bloc Québécois shares some of his views, including on the fact that the deficit is very high and that public funds must be used wisely.
One of the expenditures in this budget is subsidies for the oil industry. Roughly $9 billion a year is given to the oil industry. It seems to me that if there is one sector of the economy that should be able to function without subsidies, it is the oil industry.
How can my colleague reconcile his desire for a well-managed budget with subsidies for the oil industry?
