Mr. Speaker, we acknowledge that different places in Canada have different visions and that Quebec's policy works. What is the point of penalizing a government for taking bold action that works and that allows for cap and trade with California? There is a return to be made there. If we do the math, we easily come up with $814 million that could be invested in a variety of programs in Quebec. It does not necessarily need to be sent to individuals.
Because of its negligence, especially in governance matters, the federal government suspended funding to SDTC. We are aware of the scandal that occurred, but the impact of this is damaging to Quebec and to technological innovation in this area.
Ultimately, who benefits? Once again, it is the oil companies.
