“We need honest and thorough consultations before starting natural resource projects. People are confusing different issues, but a recent court decision in British Columbia does not affect these big resource projects.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague from Repentigny. It is a bit difficult because various issues are being conflated. From this confusion, untruths may grow. We are in a situation where, for natural resource projects, we need to establish honest and thorough consultation mechanisms before the projects are implemented. At the same time, the decision from the B.C. Supreme Court in the Cowichan case has no impact on issues like major natural resource projects.”
