Julie Dzerowicz Liberal
“Five years is too long for the government to make a decision on a project. We need a new, simpler process that takes only one year. We can still do good reviews in that time while making it easier for businesses to move forward.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think for us five years was too long for a decision to be made by our government. The world has so completely changed that we needed to put a completely new process into place. We needed to create a process that would eliminate any type of overlap or duplication. We wanted to create certainty and an easy way for businesses and projects to be able to go ahead. Therefore, while I would say we wanted to have one decision, one project, and one year, I believe we will be able to do the proper amount of assessment and study within that year to be able to make good decisions that are long-standing and good for this country.”
