I agree with some of the testimony that the oil and gas sector has contributed greatly to the Canadian economy, but I will say it's been decades since we have known that it is also boiling our planet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7967855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Kruger, Suncor's profits last year\u2014not revenues but profits\u2014were more than $27 billion, and it looks like it's going to be another year for record profits. This year, there was over $5 billion in profit recorded for the second quarter alone, yet you cut contracts with Canadian companies last year, and you are laying off another 1,500 workers this year.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7967856\" data-originallang=\"en\">How many of those contractors and how many of those workers were Albertans?</p>",

Je suis d'accord avec certains des t\u00e9moignages selon lesquels le secteur p\u00e9trolier et gazier a grandement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9conomie canadienne, mais je dirai aussi que nous savons depuis des d\u00e9cennies que ce secteur fait \u00e9galement bouillir notre plan\u00e8te.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7967855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Kruger, l'an dernier, les profits de Suncor \u2014 pas les revenus, mais les profits \u2014 ont d\u00e9pass\u00e9 les 27 milliards de dollars, et il semble que cette ann\u00e9e sera une autre ann\u00e9e de profits record. En effet, cette ann\u00e9e, plus de 5 milliards de dollars de profits ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9s pour le deuxi\u00e8me trimestre seulement. Pourtant, vous avez r\u00e9duit les contrats avec les entreprises canadiennes l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re et vous allez mettre \u00e0 pied 1 500 autres travailleurs cette ann\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7967856\" data-originallang=\"en\">Combien de ces entrepreneurs et combien de ces travailleurs \u00e9taient des Albertains?</p>"
