Nathalie Provost Liberal
“Our government is not moving slowly. In our few months in office, we have already introduced many new rules and laws. Our job in Parliament is not to build projects ourselves. Our job is to set up the right rules so developers can build things across Canada, and that is what this bill does.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am surprised to hear my colleague say that our government is dragging its feet. I have not been a member of Parliament for very long, but in the few months since we took office, there has already been some acknowledgement of our government’s ability to introduce laws and regulations for Canadians. It is important to create the right conditions. That is Parliament’s role. My role is not to pick up a shovel and start digging to build a railway track or a power transmission corridor. My role is to create the proper conditions so that developers who want help build Canada can do so. That is what we are doing here today.”
