Patrick Bonin Bloc Québécois
“The government wants to weaken the rules for approving pipelines. They plan to use only one federal review, cut out public hearings in Quebec, and ignore climate change. I do not support this.”
“Mr. Speaker, Radio-Canada reports that the Liberals are set to dismantle the entire regulatory framework governing pipelines. They had already passed Bill C-5, which suspends nearly all existing laws, but that was not enough. Now, they are going to limit environmental assessments to a single federal review, which always says yes. Now, they are going to restrict consultations as well. We are saying goodbye to BAPE, Quebec’s office of public hearings on the environment, goodbye to citizens, but above all, hello to climate change. Are there really Quebec liberals who entered politics for this?”
