“I agree with the previous speaker. These bills hurt environmental laws and Indigenous rights. There is no clear definition of what counts as a project or region of national interest. I want to hear the member's thoughts on that.”
“Madam Speaker, I completely agree with the speech from the member for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine—Listuguj. Bill C-39, and also part of the first Bill C-5, destroyed environmental laws and indigenous rights. There is currently no definition of what constitutes a region of national interest or a project of national interest. Does my colleague have any comment about that?”
