“I want the House to pass this bill. It lets us review major projects faster, giving a yes or no within a year. It speeds up the process without lowering our scientific standards or our duty to consult First Nations.”
“Mr. Speaker, this bill, as Bill C-5 did, sets out a process that helps investors, project proponents, those who assess independently or otherwise each individual project, and applies the best possible scientific and other expertise, in addition, of course, to the duty to consult first nations, to the proposal that is before that regulator. This process can go faster without having any standard lowered or any other Canadian standard or ability to evaluate diluted. We can make these projects get evaluated quicker: a yes or a no within a year.”
