Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his excellent speech. What spirit.
Earlier, my colleague asked a question of the member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, who is an economist and former Quebec finance minister. He lived through the period of austerity, which he helped create.
My colleague mentioned the $83 billion in support that is being paid out to the oil industry. The member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin replied that it generates revenue for society. I would like my colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé, the agriculture and agri-food critic, to talk to us about the impact that the oil industry has on the environment and climate change, as well as its direct impact on the agriculture sector.
