Madam Chair, I could not have said it better myself, and I certainly agree with the President of the Treasury Board. The government did not do Davie any favours. Quite the opposite. If the government did any favours, it was for Irving, which had no shortage of contracts. Meanwhile, Quebec's shipyards continue to starve.
The document indicates that the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development also needs new money. Interestingly, I noted that $296 million of this new money will be used to fight climate change. During this government's previous term, I happened to discover that $50 million from the sustainable development technology fund set aside for clean technologies had not been invested in sustainable development technology, but rather in the oil industry. Surprise, surprise.
Can the minister assure us that this $296 million will not go to oil companies again?
