First of all, I'm not going to stray into the labour provisions, because that's just not my lane.
It's certainty. I think we've had complacency in this country. We had a very reliable trade partner. It's nothing new to talk about how long it takes to get an approval in this country. This has gone on for decades, and we all have some shared responsibility on this. We have an opportunity to move the needle in creating that business certainty to also create clarity for the stakeholders, and this is often forgotten about. The clarity is also beneficial to the stakeholders, because some of the delays that were talked about earlier happen because someone all of a sudden at the last minute realizes, “My gosh, this is going to affect us. I need to get involved.” The more information everyone has up front, the better.
It's good for, first of all, the proponents, the people who finance these projects. They're looking for a return on investment, as they should. Then workers, suppliers, professionals, construction workers and the people who mill steel and do all these other things want the confidence that their jobs are not going to be here just next month or next year: They want the confidence that there will be demand for their services and products going forward.
That will put a little swagger back in this country. It will make Canada a desired place to come. With the chill in the United States, we have an enormous opportunity to bring the best and the brightest minds here. I think we have a real opportunity to build out.
Canada is already an engineering superpower. We're already a mining superpower. Let's see if we can leverage some of those superpowers here at home.
