“The Bloc Québécois is wrong. We are not meddling in Quebec's affairs, and we are not skipping environmental reviews. We will still do strong environmental reviews for pipelines and other federal projects.”

“Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Bloc Québécois said that we were meddling with Quebec’s areas of jurisdiction. Of course, none of that is true. Today, it is saying that we are going to ignore environmental assessments. That is not at all the case. There will be very robust environmental assessments when it comes to pipelines and any other process or project that is federally regulated.”

“Our federal regulators serve the whole country and rely on good science, no matter where their offices are. The Bloc Québécois is making baseless claims. We want to pass this bill to speed up project approvals and create jobs for all Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, first, the energy regulator in Calgary is the Canada Energy Regulator, just like the space agency in Saint-Hubert is the Canadian Space Agency. Regardless of where these organizations are located in the country, we have regulators that make us the envy of the world and that have access to sound evidence and science. The Bloc Québécois keeps throwing spaghetti at the wall, but unfortunately, none of it is sticking. We are going to move faster and provide jobs and economic opportunities for all Quebeckers and Canadians.”
