Madam Speaker, there is one thing that I am not hearing being talked about and that is missing from this motion. This is making sure that big oil pays its share. We know that Canada's five biggest oil and gas companies had $38 billion in combined profits last year, and they are on track to make record profits once again in 2023. The recent PBO report stated that, if it followed through, Canada could generate $4 billion in revenue from a windfall profit tax from big oil and gas. When the NDP called for big oil to pay what it owed to get more help to families, why did the member side with the Conservatives and vote against it?

Madam Speaker, at this point, I normally say that I appreciate working alongside my colleague, but I am very adamant that I need to tell the truth at all times in this chamber. If the Conservative member is concerned about first nations communities, will he commit to supporting the Assembly of First Nations' call for an additional $30 billion in climate adaptation funding for communities?
