Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague for his speech and say that I sympathize with inability to move his amendment. I would like to start by talking about this amendment. I was a little surprised to hear my NDP colleague propose an amendment that, rather than incentivizing the transition to green energy, proposes to continue encouraging the consumption of petroleum products. My own house is heated by electricity, and I think the same goes for many Quebeckers and Canadians who are going green. I would have expected my colleague to table an amendment proposing incentives to switch to more environmentally friendly home heating methods, rather than once again encouraging the use of petroleum products. Also, putting the financial burden on consumers and citizens rather than oil companies is one of the things we disapprove of about this Conservative motion. I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about those two things.
