“This bill has one group coordinate all the rules for a project. Just because the fisheries department is not mentioned does not mean it loses its say. Projects will still have to follow every rule.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will help my colleague understand the bill. The fact that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not been brought up does not mean that it has no say. It simply means that one organization is responsible for coordinating all of our standards and rules across Canada on behalf of the project. Just because it is not mentioned at the outset and just because it will not be done sequentially by each of these groups does not mean that we are getting rid of responsibilities or that the project proponent does not have to comply with the rules in all cases. That must apply.”
