Ellis Ross Conservative
“The rules for approving big projects are too confusing. Too many different offices are involved, and this bill makes it worse. We cannot build anything if investors, First Nations, and Canadians cannot understand the process.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his confusion because I am confused as well. I know the existing process under the Canadian Impact Assessment Agency, but I do not understand the correlation to the Major Projects Office, and now we have a new bill that talks about a regulator being in charge. As far as I can see, it is a three-ring circus. If people do not understand the process, which should be a clear-cut process for investors, first nations and Canadians, then how are we going to build Canada strong? I understand your confusion.”
