Thank you, colleague.
Thank you, Chair.
Again, I want to thank you, Chief Woodhouse Nepinak, for being here. Because of the timeline you have raised, I am going to turn my questioning to Ms. Swift, but on your comments, if the government continues on this course, I think it should concern proponents of this legislation. Although there may be goodwill and an attempt to try to get to a “yes” in a good way on major projects, it seems likely that the outcomes would be challenged, which would then defeat the very purpose of wanting to fast-track projects in the first place. I do hope that the Prime Minister and the ministers will listen to you, as they are the decision-makers too.
Ms. Swift, I wonder if you would expand on the shortcomings in Bill C-5 that your coalition has identified, particularly around projects that will or will not make the cut, which is a mystery and will be done secretly and behind closed doors, behind politicians, as far as we can tell so far.
