Mr. Speaker, I certainly did not intend to offend my colleague. Incidentally, my riding includes the beautiful community of Kanesatake, and I want to say hello to everyone there. I certainly did not intend to offend anyone with my terrible sense of humour, which is sometimes a bit of a trademark for me.
On the environmental issue, there may be pipeline projects, but in this economic update, the government announced that it plans to move forward with 11 new liquefied natural gas, or LNG, projects. From what I understand, when the Green Party member supported the budget last fall, she was given assurances that there would be no enhanced oil recovery, that there would be no subsidies for processes that involve injecting CO2 underground. It is buried to produce even more oil. Now the government is bringing that back and expanding the tax credits. Clearly, what was promised last fall is a done deal. In fact, once the government secured a majority, it did the exact opposite.
What is the government going to do with the money in that fund? That worries me. Will the government be transparent? It might not be transparent enough. That worries me. The Liberals already went ahead and sent some so-called green funds to PSP Investments. We never heard any more about what was being done with that money, and that worries me a great deal.
