Thanks for raising what Biden did in terms of that policy in the United States. I would note that President Biden also brought in concrete two-year timelines for regulatory approvals. That was years ago.
This same Liberal government, which has been here for 11 years, of course, still hasn't fixed the permitting timelines to make them competitive in Canada. It still hasn't fixed the certainty and clarity in conditions or the legislative or regulatory frameworks it knows block building because it has listed all of these laws and regulations in the back of Bill C-5, which it promised would make things happen faster.
I know that you, Ms. Dovgal, and members of the Canadian Fuels Association have commented on, for example, the necessity of increasing project approvals and improving investor confidence through more predictable and timely regulatory systems.
Of course, industry has told the federal Liberals two things over and over again. One is that the federal industrial carbon tax that this government imposes federally on its businesses adds costs to Canadian businesses and entrepreneurs that businesses in the United States or OPEC competitors do not have to face. On top of that, both of you have highlighted various legislative or regulatory changes, including tax costs and environmental compliance costs, which have been noted especially by members of the Fuels Association.
I wonder if each of you could give at least three top changes required to ensure expanded Canadian energy of all kinds—production, development and exports. Maybe you could follow up with written submissions.
