Alexis Deschênes Bloc Québécois
“I want the member to define what a region of national interest is. Under this bill, projects in these regions will not have to follow about 20 different laws.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her contribution. I have a very simple question for her: What is a region of national interest? Can she define it? That is one of the major changes that Bill C‑39 makes. When a region is determined to be of national interest, all projects in that area will be exempt from complying with 20 or so laws and obtaining authorizations. What is a region of national interest?”
