Mr. Speaker, Quebec has everything to gain from quickly moving away from oil and gas. Over $10 billion per year is leaving Quebec on oil purchases alone. Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Conservatives, oil companies and auto manufacturers are all working against electrification. We hope that this government will stand up and propose measures to help Quebec break free of oil and gas, rather [more]

Mr. Speaker, in our view, the Conservatives' proposal is utterly backward. Quebec is a leader in transportation electrification, and it needs the federal government's support. That means implementing ambitious measures, but the government's latest auto strategy is not ambitious, unfortunately. In terms of targets, it is not enough.

This chapter was abolished so that [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to add to what my colleague said earlier. We share some concerns about things like agriculture and meat. My Bloc Québécois colleague proposed an amendment in committee that would essentially have required the bill to be conditional on a sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the U.K. to ensure that Canadian meat can get into the U.K. Can my colleague explain why his [more]

Has your office or your staff met with people from Marinvest?

I come back to the 20 pages. A 20‑page project was submitted.

I understand, okay. You say there's no project, but 20 pages were submitted to the agency. Are you prepared to share them with the committee, to make them available to us?

No, there wasn't—

You're prepared to have the same kind of agreement in Quebec as in Alberta. Exactly the same format.
