Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. The government spent $34.5 billion to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline. What has happened? There have been record profits: $6 billion in profit for Canadian natural gas, $5 billion in profit for Enbridge, $5 billion in profit for Suncor and $4 billion in profit for Imperial Oil, which laid off 900 staff and made $4 billion in profit last year. AltaGas made $3.5 billion in profit. They made all this money, but they cannot even afford to buy the TMX pipeline.
Now the government is putting forward the idea of building another pipeline on the backs of Canadians instead of investing in clean energy, which would be much more affordable and quicker in tackling climate change and would create a long-standing future for our country, a much more sustainable future with true energy security.
I really applaud the work the Bloc Québécois members have been doing in standing up for climate action. This is something we need to be happening right now. There are pipeline wars between the Conservatives and Liberals at a time of a climate crisis and wildfires raging out of control. It reminds me of an arms war, but instead it is a pipeline war in the middle of a climate crisis. Where is the action from the government?
