Bloc Québécois on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-10-07

102 words · 5 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Bienvenu-Olivier Ntumba (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians want more housing, robust infrastructure, energy projects and trade corridors. Bill C-39 is specifically designed to reduce delays and enable projects of national interest to be completed more quickly, while, of course, maintaining the consultations and safeguards provided for by law. My question is simple. Does the Bloc Québécois actively support the objective of building faster here in Canada? If so, which specific measures would it like to see fast-tracked in Bill C-39?”
