“The Conservatives are exaggerating when they say we get nothing done. This bill makes the big legal changes we need to move major projects forward. I think the Conservatives will end up voting for it.”
“Mr. Speaker, that is a good one: “nothing getting done”. Someone much wiser than me once said that whatever is exaggerated becomes meaningless. Unfortunately, we have had a great example of that in the House because for about a year and a half or so, everything has been consistently and continuously exaggerated. We are moving forward. For that, we need significant legislative change. That is what we would be doing here. It would be a significant legislative change, which at the end of the day, I suspect, the Conservatives will actually approve. I think they will vote in favour of Bill C-39, but now they are just going off and saying things.”
