“This bill does not weaken environmental rules. It only asks officials to work faster, while still doing all the proper reviews. I want the member to show where the bill says we are cutting environmental protections.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my esteemed colleague from Joliette a question about what he just said. He said that the government has gutted environmental regulations. I would like him to tell us where it says that. All we have asked our public servants to do is to act more quickly to provide a faster response. We are not cutting corners; we are continuing to do the assessments. Can my colleague tell us where in the text of the bill it says that we are gutting environmental protection regulations?”
