“Our energy and nuclear regulators are independent experts. We need to let each regulator handle its own field and make faster decisions. This will give investors confidence to build projects across the country.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Canada Energy Regulator is a world leader in this area and has access to the best expertise and all the science. It operates independently. We think that those responsible for regulating energy should regulate energy, nuclear should regulate nuclear, and so on. We want projects to be approved or rejected faster so that investors can feel confident, regardless of whether the project is happening in Quebec, in renewable energy, elsewhere in the country or in another sector. We will take action, and we will do so quickly.”
