Mr. Speaker, Claims · 102 wordshe sacrificed billions of dollars earmarked for culture by caving to pressure from the tech giants.¹ In the fight against climate change, he has completely surrendered. He is not providing sufficient support for the aluminum and forestry sectors, yet when a pipeline is involved, there is $40 billion available for oil, ²which is not even tariffed.³ The companies are owned by Americans.⁴ The profits go to the United States. Moreover, 95% of the oil is purchased by Americans.⁵ Pacific link is not a gateway to economic diversification. It is a pipeline for carrying Quebeckers’ money to western Canada and the United States. The question · 24 wordsDoes he not realize that Quebeckers’ money should be used to develop Quebec, not to destroy the planet or benefit friends in financial circles?
