This is my moment in the sun. I'm very excited.
As you can see, this is a bit more of a technical amendment that goes on for several paragraphs and would add several paragraphs into the bill. We're trying to provide additional clarity to the transition provisions, which are going to allow for greater predictability so that those who are advocating a new activity can adequately prepare for the environmental assessment knowing what the process is and not having to worry about a new process being switched out at some point in the future.
I do note the minister has indicated that he's looking for timelines that are predictable and reasonable for Canadian energy projects, so I would make the modest suggestion to my Liberal colleagues that this actually should fit in very well with their stated objectives. I think we all understand that investors do need to have shorter timelines and greater certainty to act. That's just how investors work. They go where they can get a predictable return. I think these are solid reasons for supporting this particular amendment.
