“We need this bill to set clear deadlines for approving projects. Delays make building things cost more. The minister can still handle special cases, but we need to move faster and start building.”
“Mr. Speaker, this is why it is so important that we have a timeline. In the past, a lot of infrastructure costs have risen because of delays in our projects due to delays in the decision-making process. There are exceptional circumstances, and this is why the Minister of Transport would have the authority to be able to make those exceptional decisions. It is really important that at this time, a time of crisis, we are focusing on making sure we have a review process that has a timeline and that we get shovels in the ground, and this is exactly why the bill is really important.”
