Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to notify the committee that we will be moving the motion requesting tabling of details on staffing cuts and service level impacts of the spending review.
Mr. Minister, you talked about big projects being developed. There's a big project in northern Ontario called the Ring of Fire. The Premier of Ontario has called it the most significant mining development in Canada in a century. Members of your party have called it the oil sands for Ontario.
We have a chance here to get it right and do something for the environment, do something for the economy, do something for first nations' rights, all at the same time, and create hundreds of jobs for hundreds of years, by getting everyone at the table at the same time to do, as a first nation is requesting, a joint federal-provincial review that covers everything. A joint federal-provincial review is not the same thing as a comprehensive study.
Why not do that? Why not get everybody to the table and do it right the first time?
