Thank you, Madam Chair.
I just want to make a clarification for my colleagues opposite.
We often hear that we Liberals want to change and destroy what was done by the previous government, but that is not the case. On a number of occasions, we have said that we just wanted to make sure that the changes that were made without prior consultation—let me stress that—are effective and meet the needs of Canadians. I don’t understand what is so difficult to grasp about that.
This is a transparent and honest process to gather the views of different organizations. You can see that we have asked questions and the organizations responded today. We are here to hear from witnesses, not to introduce partisan motions that slow down our work.
I’m sorry, but I just had to say that.
Let’s now move to my question. In your opinion, would it be possible to improve the process of adding waterways to a schedule without undermining the certainty you have mentioned and without affecting the speed of the approval process?
