Mario Simard Bloc Québécois
“Oil companies are making record profits while people struggle with the cost of living. Suncor made almost $10 billion in nine months. I want to know if the government will stop giving public money to these companies in the budget.”
“Mr. Speaker, while Quebeckers are struggling with the cost of living, the greedy oil companies continue to rake in record profits from the war in Iran. In nine months, Suncor made nearly $10 billion. That is more than it made in its best year ever. Its refining margin shot up 260%, which means that, yes, it is ordinary people who have been paying the price. The greedy oil companies are getting richer than ever at Quebeckers’ expense. Will the government finally cut off their supply of public funds in the budget?”
