Mr. Speaker, with five days to go before COP27, we have learned that Canada is still pouring public money into the fossil fuel industry. It is the second‑worst country in the G20, according to Oil Change International. Canada is worse than Russia. It invested $8.5 billion a year between 2019 and 2021. How are other countries supposed to react at COP27 when they hear Canada talk a good game, while knowing it has the second‑worst record in the G20? What do we call someone who says one thing and does the opposite?

Mr. Speaker, one of the things that has been on my mind is whether any other countries around the world have something like the ArriveCAN app. I checked. At least among our peers in the G20, not a single one has an app like this, not Germany, South Korea, India, the U.K., South Africa or Japan. I will not name them all, but there are 20 of them. The exception is Canada. We have this app that cost $54 million, an app that Canadians did not need and cannot afford. Could my hon. colleague comment on the fact that we spent $54 million on something that was apparently not necessary in the eyes of our G20 peers?
