Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for presenting yourself here today.
You've stated that your intention is to gut the National Energy Board review process and eliminate public input on particular pipeline and mining projects. You call the process outdated, but it was chiefly designed to protect the rights of property owners.
Does this mean that property owners and first nations affected by these projects will have to resort to civil disobedience to save their lands from expropriation?
