Thank you.
It seems clear that if a government is serious about Canadian sovereignty, self-reliance and affordability, it will do everything it can as fast as possible to break down and to harmonize those jurisdictional challenges. The Liberals have been in power for 11 years, so they could get on at any time, especially given their specific promises about it.
This is for CanREA and the biofuels association. CanREA was here before. Talking about permitting for energy sites, the organization said, “I've been out to many a project site where you ask, 'How many permits are you filing?' and the answer comes 'Oh, five or ten'...And I go, 'one field.'”
As you know, Conservatives support the expansion of private sector traditional and new energy development. Like all of you, we believe this is a spectrum and that the answer is both and all for Canada—not either-or, some or the politically favourited ones.
Given that, what regulations should be either repealed or revised, or what other federal policy changes can be made so that energy development and supply chains of all kinds can be built in Canada? You mentioned the requirements for clarity and certainty.
