Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Winnipeg North always delivers very elaborate speeches that touch on several different issues.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague’s speech was very important, because he spoke about agriculture, and therefore food. Everyone agrees that this is a necessity.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, my colleague mentioned the fossil fuel industry in his speech.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I would like to talk about the Conservatives' amendment to the throne speech.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I sincerely thank the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his speech.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the fossil fuel industry plans to drill 1,363 new wells in 2022. Most of them will be for oil. However, Canada is fully supplied; there is no demand for more oil. Clearly, that oil must be intended for export, and a pipeline will be needed to reach global markets. Ho

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, thank you for recognizing the second opposition. I have to say that I do not even know where to begin with the speech by the leader of the official opposition, especially the part about the environment, because I have so many questions to ask him.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, who serves with me on the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. Where do I find hope?
