Mr. Speaker, Quebec has everything to gain from quickly moving away from oil and gas. Over $10 billion per year is leaving Quebec on oil purchases alone. Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Conservatives, oil companies and auto manufacturers are all working against electrification. We hope that this government will stand up and propose measures to help Quebec break free of oil and gas, rather [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to start by saying that the Bloc Québécois does not support the Conservative Party's motion. In fact, by moving yet another motion on the auto sector, the Conservatives are unfortunately confusing the interests of Ontarians with the interests of Quebeckers. They are also protecting the interests of Canadian auto manufacturers, which are lagging behind internationally [more]

Mr. Speaker, in our view, the Conservatives' proposal is utterly backward. Quebec is a leader in transportation electrification, and it needs the federal government's support. That means implementing ambitious measures, but the government's latest auto strategy is not ambitious, unfortunately. In terms of targets, it is not enough.

Mr. Speaker, there are currently 130,000 jobs in the electric mobility sector in this country and many of those jobs are in Quebec. That number is expected to triple by 2035. Quebec does not manufacture gas-powered vehicles. It manufactures electric buses, light-duty electric trucks, heavy-duty electric trucks, trains and streetcars.

Do you think we need to improve the transparency of the carbon pricing system?

Should oil sands companies make a very clear commitment to fund their project?

You agree though that, after 2030, the price should continue to rise. Is that correct?

Mr. Séguin, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. In your opinion, is it fair to Quebec if Canada enters into an agreement with Alberta to reduce carbon pricing to $130 a tonne?

Okay. If the government reduces the carbon price during the review of the industrial carbon tax, could that jeopardize the attainment of greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement?
