Mr. Speaker, the hon. Bloc Québécois member says there is a fuel shortage. That is exactly what we are saying. That is why we want to remove the oil and gas production cap so we can provide the world with the most ethical and environmentally responsible oil and gas possible. We have to take advantage of this because it is our largest global export.
Exporting Canadian oil and gas would strengthen our dollar and make groceries and gas more affordable, including in Quebec. It would mean more revenue coming in from industry instead of from taxpayers, including in Quebec. It would mean more demand for machinery made in Quebec for the industry in Alberta because we have a Canada-wide economy. Lastly, we need to build up a strategic reserve of oil and other resources to give us more power and leverage in negotiations with allies around the world.
That will make everything affordable here at home. It will make us stronger. We will be masters in our own house.
