This is appalling. This is the height of your responsibility. This is something the government hasn't revealed, and we're so thankful to actually get this information out in the public domain. Canadians certainly need to know about this.
I'd like to go further on the issue of public participation, because that's part of the underpinning of ensuring environmental assessment and project assessment. We now have a government that is going to exclude a wide variety of individuals, depending on where they live or what they plan to say. What does that do to weaken additional protections for Canadians, if Canadians are excluded because of what they think or where they live, by this government's attempt to say that you have to be directly impacted? I'm talking about energy assessments. You have to be directly impacted for the government to permit you to speak out or participate in public evaluation.
