Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe Bloc Québécois
“The government is wasting public money by giving $14 billion to oil and gas companies that are making record profits. I want the member to agree with his leader and call this out as a scandal.”
“Mr. Speaker, some things are indeed ridiculous. Public funds are being wasted and there are financial scandals with this government. It never ends. One of the things that the leader of my colleague’s party has said is that he is against corporate welfare. This was in response to a question from my colleague from Jonquière ahout whether the government should stop subsidizing the oil and gas industry, which is getting $14 billion this year. The Conservative leader agreed and said that we need to fight corporate welfare. Will my colleague proclaim loud and clear, like his leader, that one of the current government’s worst financial scandals in the estimates we are voting on is that there is a subsidy of $14 billion that is coming out of taxpayers’ pockets and going directly into the pockets of those who are making the biggest record profits, namely oil and gas companies?”
