Sherry Romanado, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence
“We can protect the environment and still build big projects quickly. We are working with the provinces to speed up reviews and cut duplicate rules, while still keeping strong environmental standards and respecting Indigenous rights.”
“Mr. Speaker, we do not need to choose between strong environmental protections and building major projects efficiently. We can and must do both. That is why we are working with provinces and territories to cut duplication and make assessments more efficient, while upholding Canada’s world-leading environmental standards and respecting indigenous rights. On top of this, we introduced environmental mapping in our nature strategy to integrate conservation and project planning, to keep nature protected and to build Canada right. Our focus remains on building well, streamlining processes and cutting duplication, not corners.”
