Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, related to my hon. colleague’s last question and her answer, I wonder if the member is aware of the value of the productivity mega tax deduction for Canada’s oil and gas sector. Much of the revenue the government has projected to raise in the next few years relies on the success of our oil and gas sector. I wonder if the member can tell us how excited she is about the productivity mega tax deduction benefits for the Canadian oil and gas sector.”
