Mr. Speaker, earlier, the member for York Centre said in his speech that Canada is importing oil and oil products from Russia. I asked him to clarify and to give some numbers because I know that that is not allowed. Canada has been banning oil imports from Russia since 2022, and we have not imported any oil from there since 2019. He told me that Canada imported oil from Russia last year and that we also imported oil from Venezuela.
It is all well and good to have debates and disagreements, but we need to make sure that they are based on facts. If it is true that Canada is still importing oil from Russia or Venezuela in various ways, using loopholes that I am not aware of, as a supporter of Ukraine, I think that is totally unacceptable and that it should be denounced.
I would like to know whether the Conservative Party is stating that Canada is still importing oil from Russia, despite the ban. Is that the party's position?
