Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my Bloc Québécois colleague, who gave an excellent speech, in my view. We have a very good MP representing the riding of Joliette—Manawan, and we need more contributions from members like him.
There is a lot of drama on the Conservative side. It almost seems as though they are blaming the government for the rise in gas prices, when in reality, if we look at the figures and data, the oil companies' operating costs did not go up when the price of a barrel of oil went up. The oil companies simply increased their profits.
Rather than cutting taxes, are there any other measures that could target oil companies directly?
