Thank you, Mr. Chair and ministers.
I'll start with Minister MacKinnon this time.
Minister, obviously you're sponsoring the bill in the House, so I'm expecting you to answer to all of it. In part 1 of the bill, you have proposed subsection 19(4). Essentially, it says that a “responsible authority” must receive “all of the information” before it can deem a project complete and begin the process of starting the one-year clock.
Minister, I call that the Groundhog Day clause, because a regulator could ask for another study and another study and another study. There's nothing in here building the certainty and the predictability that if someone comes to invest in Canada, they can get their project on that starting clock, so what do you have to say about proposed subsection 19(4) being Groundhog Day?
