Sophie Chatel Liberal
“This bill does not change the laws in a chosen region. It makes government departments work together so we can review related projects at the same time. The goal is to make one decision for a project within one year, instead of repeating the same reviews.”
“Mr. Speaker, choosing a region does not necessarily mean changing all the laws that apply to it. The important thing in choosing a region is to truly recognize that there is a critical activity in the sector and that all departments must work together. The purpose of this bill is really to have one submission, one project and one decision in one year. We do not want to duplicate the various decisions. We really want things to be as efficient as possible in a given geographic area. Furthermore, it will not necessarily work on a project-by-project basis. When an area is identified, it really means that a number of projects are related and that they must be considered together.”
