Oil and Gas Industry
A debate about the government's economic update and its impact on the oil and gas industry. The Bloc accused the Liberals of giving billions in subsidies to oil companies while neglecting other priorities. The Liberals defended their record on climate change and highlighted conservation efforts.
“I want to announce a new subsidy for my preferred businesses. I hope voters will forget you asked about other programs. I'd rather talk about new spending I like more.”
“I want to change the subject to international spending instead of defending our oil subsidy. Maybe if I list other environmental programs it will distract from the carbon storage tax credit he criticized.”
