Madam Speaker, I find it rather surprising to hear the government say that all of its efforts in Alberta will ultimately enable it to free itself from the trade dispute with the Americans, or at least mitigate the effects of that dispute, when we know that 60% of all profits made by big oil go to the United States.
Does my colleague not find it a bit counterproductive to put money into unproven carbon capture and sequestration strategies only to further feed the greedy oil sector, which is primarily American? Is that not counterproductive in the context of a trade dispute?
