Shannon Stubbs Conservative
“I oppose this bill. The government is spending $200 million on a new office to let politicians pick projects instead of using independent regulators. Many projects are already stuck waiting for approval. We should simplify the rules, fix the laws, and cut taxes to bring back business investment.”
“Mr. Speaker, the current situation is that the Liberals have just created more uncertainty and more chaos. Whatever happened in this country to what was a world-renowned, independent, impartial, objective and evidence-based regulatory body that made recommendations? Instead, what the Liberals are doing is centralizing power so that politicians are picking pet projects. They have a 100-person, $200-million Major Projects Office, which calls itself a concierge, while they have three existing regulators and more than 70 projects with private sector proponents that are stuck in front of those regulators right now with no end in sight. The Prime Minister himself said that there are 500 projects sitting on his table since they started this whole hullabaloo. The point is: streamline the regulations, fix the laws, get rid of the anti-competitive taxes and bring private sector investment back to Canada for unity, sovereignty, security and leverage abroad.”
