Let me take you back to a bad movie that you—and we—recently watched. In November 2025, you appeared before this committee, and we discussed Bill C‑5—which is now law—regarding projects of national interest or major projects. The government granted itself the right—just as it did under Bill C‑30—to assume new powers to circumvent the law.
I mentioned pesticides as an example. At the time, this applied to all laws except the Criminal Code, for a period of three years. I consider this a worrying shift. If, according to scientific findings, it was harmful in the past, it remains harmful today.
I'd like to hear your opinion on that. Some decisions are heavily criticized. Even science, as you said, is controversial—if not attacked and called into question. Generally speaking, do you think economic interests should take precedence over scientific assessments?
