What really concerns me, Mr. Chair, is that this can't be read in isolation. I'm looking at this and I'm reflecting on the fact that the government has changed the regulations with respect to environmental assessment. Right? There have been massive changes to environmental assessment. Anything under $10 million now is no longer subject to a federal environmental assessment unless it's inside a national park or inside marine conservation areas. That's the import of the changes they've made, which is something Canadians aren't aware of yet.
Given the fact that there is no more environmental assessment for stimulus investment purposes, according to the government, and that EA has been done away with for projects under $10 million, I'm really concerned about the flexibility here and about what kind of order can be made. That's why I'm following up on Ms. Duncan's subamendment. I know it was a friendly amendment accepted by the government. But I want to make sure that this is locked down so that we don't see any further watering down of environmental standards and environmental assessment in and around marine conservation areas and communities. We've already seen a complete gutting of environmental assessments.
Can you help me understand how these connect?
