Alexis Deschênes Bloc Québécois
“This bill lets the government approve projects before doing an environmental review. I want to know what my colleague and her party think about that.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her contribution to this debate. I want to ask a question about something that is planned or proposed in Bill C‑39 that is, in my opinion, absolutely mind-boggling, and that is the government’s ability to pre-approve development projects. In other words, it could allow a development project to go ahead without even doing an environmental assessment. The assessment would come afterward and then we would see what happens. What do my colleague and her party think of that part of Bill C‑39?”
