Let's talk about Bill C-39.
It leaves expert regulators and cabinet in separate silos. You have Bill C-5 on the one hand and Bill C-39 on the other. Instead of using the Major Projects Office, why not let regulators, with proponent consent, refer complete, credible projects for schedule 1 consideration and identify unnecessary federal requirements based on evidence? That would avoid any duplicate work and inform target exemptions, while cabinet would have the final say.
Given the limited results that you've seen under the Building Canada Act, why leave out this route to give faster approvals and fewer federal roadblocks? Why not have them work together?
