Madam Chair, this will do nothing to restore trust that projects of national interest will actually get built in an environmentally sustainable way.
What you see here is on top of all the new criteria that have been imposed within the legislation, the upstream and downstream impacts. Now you're adding another 11 criteria that proponents are going to have to address and overcome. You're adding obstacle after obstacle in the way of getting projects properly reviewed and approved when they are in the national interest and when these projects can be built in a sustainable way.
This takes it far beyond what we already have in this bill. Even as it is, this bill is a step backward. It's going to undermine investment in Canada. This proposal is the death knell of development in Canada.
