Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thanks, gentlemen, for being here.
One of the alarming parts of Bill C-68 is the return to HADD. I'm sure you're all familiar with that. I've heard from a number of groups that are concerned that these changes will actually slow down development and recreate the confusing and quite inconsistent process that was in place prior to the changes being made in 2012. The confusing part about all of this is that the government hasn't really explained what specific protections are being lost.
Mr. Arnold referred earlier to an Order Paper question that he had, and the minister in the department has said that the has heard concerns from outside groups about lost protections, but you don't actually give any sort of explanation of what is actually being lost here. How can you explain that?
You basically ignored his question, or didn't answer, ragged the puck—I'll use whatever term—but you haven't given any examples.
I only have five minutes, so I ask you to be brief.
