Mr. Speaker, we moved that motion so that Parliament could rise on a note of consensus and awareness. We need to do more to ensure that the natural disasters we are experiencing do not become the norm. To do that, though, we need to make some tough decisions. Everyone knows that the main factor speeding up climate change is fossil fuels. However, the federal government is still allowing oil companies to look for new deposits to develop. We need to reduce production, but Ottawa is still thinking about increasing it. Can the Prime Minister at least say that new oil and gas projects in Canada are a thing of the past?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Châteauguay—Lacolle for her question and for her hard work. I would like to congratulate all the candidates in the recent by-elections. I look forward to welcoming Anna Gainey and Ben Carr to the House. Communities in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba had a choice between the Conservative Party's divisive rhetoric, austerity and cuts, or our plan to continue to strengthen the middle class, make life more affordable, fight climate change and so much more. There is a lot more hard work left ahead of us, and our team will be even stronger with these two new, strong voices in Ottawa.

Madam Speaker, let us talk about “grift”, or should we call it “dark green money”? Not half an hour outside of Ottawa, there is what at one time was the most massive solar farm in Ontario. It was owned and leased by the government of France. Ontario Hydro maps out all the electricity generators in Ontario; it also puts on this map how much electricity they have produced. We have been paying all the hundreds of millions, and every month, we continue to pay this green grift to the country of France. In turn, France puts it in different foundations. These foundations make it into family trust funds to eventually reward the people who directed the money in the first place. After all those millions, not one single watt of electricity has ever been generated in what used to be the largest solar farm in Ontario.
