“Canada's economy is growing quickly, and our inflation is low compared to other top economies. This bill makes sure major projects need only one environmental review with the provinces instead of two, which speeds things up. I want the member to say what he thinks about that.”
“Mr. Speaker, just for the record since our colleague made an allusion to that, Canada’s economy is not the slowest-growing in the G7. In fact, right now we are the second-fastest and inflation in Canada is one of the lowest in the G7. However, I will go back to the issue in question here. Our colleague spent quite a bit of time on the one-year approval track record, but in fact this bill is one project, one assessment, one year. I would like our colleague to comment on this one assessment part of the bill, which is working collaboratively with the provinces to make sure that we avoid duplication of processes and that the projects can advance much faster than that.”
