Paragraph 19(2)(a) says “suspend or cancel a permit or authorization issued to the defendant or the defendant’s right to obtain or hold a permit or authorization” in any undertaking that might be challenged pursuant to the balance of tests in section 16 of this bill, thereby putting potential projects that have already been permitted—already existing projects—in a perilous situation, should this law come to pass. Also, it would put any proposed permits or projects that might be before any regulatory body in a perilous position as well.
Do you really believe that the membership, the 600,000 workers you represent, if they knew the gravity of the potential of this legislation, would actually support this bill?
