Absolutely. Thank you for your question.
I don't know. There's no other way to describe it. Take section 115 of the Impact Assessment Act. It only allows non-application of the act for reasons related to national security or in instances where the Emergencies Act is invoked. Bill C-5 goes far beyond this Emergencies Act clause in the Impact Assessment Act, with none of the safeguards contained in the Emergencies Act related to transparency and parliamentary oversight. It is project approval by executive decree, with any act or any regulation able to be set aside by the cabinet.
Julie is with me. She's my technical person at the Assembly of First Nations. She's the legal brain.
I don't know if you want to expand on that.
