Replying to Mario Beaulieu (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, Bill C‑5 allowed the government to circumvent at least 12 laws and seven environmental regulations. It had discretionary power to do so, which was limited to five years. Bill C‑39 removes that limit and makes permanent the ability to circumvent environmental laws. Does my colleague not agree that, at this stage, given that we are experiencing a climate emergency, this would lead to even more climate disasters, which would bring with it an enormous cost for public services?”
