“This bill lets the government approve projects before studying their risks. If an assessment later shows a project is bad for public health, it will already have started. I want to know what the member thinks about this.”
“Mr. Speaker, under Bill C-39, the government can approve projects before they are even assessed. If the assessment shows that the project poses a risk to public health or that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, it will be too late. The project will already have started. What does my colleague think about that?”
