“Madam Speaker, my colleague’s speech made it clear what is happening. The government is going to select a project. Evidently, the project will create a lot of pollution, exceeding the levels set out in environmental laws. The government will then decide to designate a region around it to exempt that project from environmental laws. I think my colleague is being very kind to the government. I think he is being magnanimous toward the government. He is talking about a 28‑person cabinet. Since the arrival of the new Prime Minister, we have seen that this government is a one-man show. We are talking about 28 ministers whom the Prime Minister can fire at will. Does my colleague really think that 28 ministers will be consulted, or does he think that, at the end of the day, it will be the private interests that have a voice in the Prime Minister’s Office that will ultimately get projects approved?”

Madam Speaker, Thanks · 23 wordsI believe my colleague has a lot of political experience, and his comment is informed by his observations of what is going on.ThanksClaims · 78 wordsThe Prime Minister will define what is in the national interest and what constitutes a region of national interest.Those that gain his favour, if I may put it that way, will enjoy a special legislative regime that requires relatively few approvals.Meanwhile—and this is something the Conservatives do not talk about much—all other individuals and businesses in Canada will have to continue to undergo assessments that, in my opinion, are justified, though not without room for improvement.
