First, I accept the Minister of Transport's explanation. I want to be mindful of the fact that this is a file that's outside of my portfolio and that I didn't come here intending to discuss today.
If you look at the mission of the government, not just on Alto but more broadly on some of the major projects, we've made a decision to have expedited processes to get things built that are in the national interest and that are major projects of a scale that we have not been able to build quickly in Canada for a significant period of time. We want to make sure that we do things as fairly as possible and that we behave reasonably through this process. However, we won't accept that we don't get to accomplish big things. We want to build this country, grow the economy and take on big projects that meet the moment Canada is living through at this moment in our history.
