That's great. You listed several really concrete reasons why specific projects were abandoned over the last 10 years.
The solution the government has offered, through legislation that passed with Conservative support, to allow the government to suspend its own laws to approve projects doesn't really speak to stability or predictability. It is, specifically, political interference. It gives the minister the power to make a political decision favouring one project over another.
Would it not be a better approach to actually repeal the laws that have been cited as barriers to investment, rather than to simply give the minister the power to selectively apply the law?
