Madam Speaker, I find it interesting to hear my colleague talk about the consequences this budget will have on taxpayers.
Is it normal for the federal government to invest public money to purchase a pipeline, as it did with Trans Mountain? Elsewhere in the budget, tens of billions of dollars is being paid out in subsidies. The forestry industry is basically being ignored in this budget, yet tens of billions of dollars are being poured into the oil and gas industry once again.
Is it normal to invest public money in the oil sands, in oil and gas?
