Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we have talked at length about what the Conservatives brought to the table for their opposition day, but the government is essentially no different. To return to the topic of carbon capture and storage, it is like a magic pill for them too. They think it will solv

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, like my colleague, I will say that the Bloc Québécois will vote against this motion. First, we are not in favour of cancelling the clean fuel regulations. In addition, we do not approve of the Conservative grandstanding on the important issue of inflation and the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have been in the House since 10 o'clock this morning, and all I am hearing is what could be described as “mud-slinging”. To put it another way, it is like a ping-pong match, but things are getting a bit out of hand. I would like to bring a little decorum back to th

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, there seems to be a problem with the interpretation. When the member speaks, we hear a crackling noise on the line, which is making the interpreters' task more difficult. There may be a cellphone causing interference.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member's speech covered so many things that I have questions about. I would begin by saying that the Johnston report is a victory for China and a defeat for democracy. The member spoke a lot about protecting democracy and about partisanship. I have a question

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, there are a number of things we do not agree on entirely. There have been a lot of meetings. Some 1,300 meetings were held for the entire oil lobby in Canada in 2022. The department hosted 104 meetings, most of them with senior officials, and the minister has held 3

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, concerning everything we spoke about, the minister told us that things are going in the right direction. I would like to remind her that about 10 days ago, the UN released a report on the melting of glaciers, which is breaking records and is irreversible. It would s

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, in 2022, oil companies made $38 billion in combined profits. I think they have the money they need. If they believe in this technology, then they should be using their profits to pay for it. I am going to ask some questions about Trans Mountain. This morning, the Pr

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will set the issue of security aside and instead talk about the fact that the Prime Minister said that Trans Mountain's profits would be invested in the fight against climate change. That is like asking a firefighter to light a fire to justify his job. That being s

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, earlier the minister spoke at length about the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. That legislation sets out that the American government confirms the existential threat posed by the climate crisis. Does the minister seriously believe that, by investing in grey hydrogen a

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the minister is giving an investment tax credit for clean technology. Since we do not agree on what is clean and what is not when it comes to hydrogen, I would like to know what range of technologies the government considers to be clean. Can you confirm that this cr

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am glad to hear that the minister somewhat agrees with us. We would like to define the terms “subsidies” and “clean technologies”. Of the $80 billion planned over 10 years, can the minister tell us how much will be invested in Quebec's green economy?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, there is one thing that is not entirely clear in terms of the questions I asked, specifically relating to when the minister talked about coal. I would like to clarify that. Can tax credits be given to those industries?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the government chose to spend billions of dollars in public funds on extremely expensive technology to the sole benefit of the industry. The government therefore accepts the solution that the industry chose. I am talking about carbon capture and storage. Some 400 Can

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, indeed, we do not agree on carbon capture and storage. This technology has a poor record. For example, the Shell Quest facility produced more greenhouse gas emissions than it captured with its technology. Around the world, of the 149 projects to be storing carbon by
