Thank you very much.
As was apparent in my questioning of Minister LeBlanc, the operation of proposed sections 21, 22 and 23 gives the government the unfettered ability to exempt any national project from any legislation passed since 1867.
Conservatives believe that there should be a restriction on that. While we admit candidly that our solution is not perfect because this legislation is not perfect, we very much believe that this is an important limitation.
We would ask for all members to consider supporting this very common-sense control on the ability of a minister to exempt a national project from literally any legislation.
