Liberal on The Environment 2026-11-03

Replying to Gabriel Ste-Marie (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, we have been asking the Liberals for weeks to condemn Bill C-39. It was the National Women’s Liberal Commission that had the courage to take the lead. These Liberal women submitted a brief condemning the Prime Minister’s overreach. They are demanding that all powers to exempt or abbreviate environmental assessments be reported to Parliament, be subject to independent review and be time-limited. They are also speaking out against the government’s intention to approve projects before the assessments are complete. Will the government finally listen to reason and listen to the voices of Liberal women?”

Mr. Speaker, I want to once again reassure everyone that we have not made any changes to the environmental assessment standards. We are protecting the environment. It is very important to continue to do that. However, we need to build major projects, such as clean electricity projects. We have to be able to do that. We have to be able to help Hydro-Québec, for example, so that we can double the capacity of our electrical grid. We will do this work, and we will do it right so that we protect the environment.
