Madam Speaker, I would like to hear what my hon. colleague has to say about the oil and gas subsidies set out in the latest budget. It is taxpayer money.
We are talking about a multi-billion dollar increase in the amounts that will be paid to oil and gas companies for a carbon capture and storage technology that is unproven, that has not been used on a large scale and that is extremely expensive. In addition, the government is funding this technology with billions of dollars of taxpayer money that could have been invested elsewhere, including in solutions to lower greenhouse gas emissions, improve quality of life and reduce the cost of groceries.
Does my colleague agree with these subsidies?
