“Companies are investing in the U.S. and Mexico because projects get built there three times faster than in Canada. I want the minister to tell us if our assessment laws have made it easier or harder to build major projects here.”
“Mr. Chair, that is interesting, because most global CEOs are investing in the U.S. and Mexico, including in infrastructure, where it takes about one-third of the time to get a project built than it does here in Canada. Does the minister believe legislation like the Impact Assessment Act has made it easier or harder to build major projects in Canada?”
