Thanks, Chair.
Ms. Bruske, because I have limited time, I'm wondering if you could make sure, after the committee meeting, to table with the committee the sources and the material and all the information you were talking about in your comments around Alberta.
As Conservatives we've been clear that we want to cut red tape, cut timelines and make Canada competitive, efficient, predictable and certain, and particularly we would like the private sector to make those investments and create all those jobs. To that end, my questions will be directed to private sector proponents.
To the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Macdonald-Laurier Institute, you both commented in different ways about the importance of clarity, certainty and predictability.
Could you, at the outset, explain the importance of those factors when it comes to regulatory timelines and business rules in private sector proponents' consideration of what makes a business case for a long-term major multi-million- or multi-billion-dollar investment?
We'll go first to the Chamber of Commerce and then to the MLI.
