Mario Simard Bloc Québécois
“This plan spends public money on oil and gas instead of helping Quebec. It gives tax breaks to the gas industry, but nothing to Quebec's economy, even while we face severe U.S. tariffs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have read the entire document. The whole problem is that the major investments are being made not in Quebec, but in the oil and gas sector. The accelerated capital cost allowance in the economic update applies only to the gas sector. It does not apply to other sectors that are specific to Quebec. There is nothing for our economic sectors. There is only money for the oil and gas sector. The goal of this economic update is to give even more support to Canada’s energy sector using taxpayer dollars. This is being done at Quebec’s expense, just as Quebec is dealing with one of its worst tariff crises ever thanks to the United States. If my colleague does not find that outrageous, I can draw him a picture.”
