Replying to Branden Leslie (Conservative)

“Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister said he was going to build at speeds not seen in a generation. He knows that Bill C-69 and other terrible Liberal environmental policies are still on the books, yet the Liberals are taking their sweet time to fix the mess that they themselves created, so now they are bogged down in endless consultations and more of the same old gabfest. The Prime Minister has been in power for more than a year, and he still has not fixed any laws that prevent major projects from moving forward. When will the Prime Minister do what is necessary to scrap the Liberals’ antidevelopment laws so we can once again build big things in this country?”
