Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague and I may indeed look a bit alike, but we certainly do not think alike.
Oil and gas in Canada is going from strength to strength. Production is going up, and so are emissions. No one on the other side of the House has shut down the oil and gas industry. On the contrary, the government is rolling out the red carpet for the industry and putting billions of dollars on the table. These billions of dollars are being taken out of the pockets of Quebeckers and from other areas.
We should transition and make plans to move away from oil and gas. As we know, oil and gas production will not be discontinued overnight, but we need to plan for a transition. My colleague mentioned health, but according to the World Health Organization, the biggest threat to health is climate change.
Choosing to bury our heads in the sand and prioritizing oil and gas would definitely be bad for our health.
