“I want this bill to pass. It sets a one-year limit for federal permit decisions, which helps investors plan projects in northern New Brunswick. It also makes our local ports faster and more efficient, helping businesses in my area ship their goods to markets around the world.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, my riding is home to a number of projects and a great deal of momentum. The bill will provide a clear regulatory framework for people who want to invest in projects in northern New Brunswick. For example, responses about federal permits will be delivered within a year, providing predictability. When it comes to transport, we want to make our ports more efficient. New Brunswick has the port of Belledune and the port of Saint John. Goods from my riding, Madawaska—Restigouche, sail from those ports to reach various markets around the world. Modernizing port processes and procedures to make them more efficient will benefit our local businesses, which are already very active in international trade.
