“We cut federal red tape with this bill. Now the provinces need to work with us so projects only have to go through one review instead of two. Seven provinces have already agreed to this, and I want Quebec to join as well.”
“Madam Speaker, I agree that we, as the Canadian government, through Bill C-5, removed all the red tape with respect to the federal government. It is now the provincial government’s duty to work with the federal government and comply with that. As far as the one project, one review framework to reduce existing duplication between federal and provincial assessments, seven provinces have come on board with this agreement. I am not sure whether Quebec is one of the provinces. If it is not, then I am sure the government would keep working with it until it gets on board.”
