Mr. Chair, during the budget debates, we talked a lot about government spending that made no sense, along with an $80-billion deficit. For one thing, this government extended tax credits for the oil industry until 2040. These tax credits for the oil industry are collectively going to cost us $100 billion. In the meantime, the struggling forestry sector is getting not one penny. That is why we are here this evening.
Does my colleague agree with me that it makes no sense to give $100 billion in tax credits to the oil industry and absolutely nothing to the forestry industry?
