Mr. Speaker, there is a question I like to ask the Conservatives. Oddly enough, I never get an answer from them, and that always surprises me. I will try my luck with a new colleague. Maybe I stand a better chance of getting an answer from her this time.
I asked my colleague from Richmond—Arthabaska the same question earlier. It was related to government waste and the deficits that the Liberals like to describe as generational. This budget extends tax credits for oil and gas companies until 2040. We already knew that the tax credits for oil and gas companies until 2035 would cost roughly $83 billion. This extension will raise that total to over $100 billion. The answer I got was it is important that we develop our natural resources. That is not what I am talking about.
I am wondering, do the Conservatives support giving $100 billion in tax credits to an industry that clearly does not need tax credits?
