Government Priorities

During question period on government priorities, members discussed Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act, which among other things speeds up federal approvals for major projects such as pipelines, power lines and nuclear projects, and makes changes affecting labour relations. Christine Normandin of the Bloc Québécois opposed the bill, saying it weakens environmental assessments, places limits on workers’ right to strike, and affects provinces and Indigenous reconciliation, and she asked why Liberals were supporting it. Liberals, including Sean Fraser and Julie Dabrusin, urged passage of the bill, saying it is meant to attract investment, create jobs, and help build clean electricity and transit projects that reduce emissions, and they questioned why the Bloc was now opposing projects it had previously supported.Written by AI from the debate.
