Thank you, Chair. I so move.
This is an effort to meet the government's claims that this bill will adhere to timelines by embedding timelines right into the bill. This would enforce a 90-day deadline for a final decision after a ministerial recommendation with mandatory reporting on delays to ensure timely decisions and prevent indefinite political limbo for major projects.
Of course, we campaigned on review processes. We were shooting for a maximum one-year cap with a six-month target, so that is what we propose in this amendment. However, since the government has not even included the two-year timeline it keeps claiming is in this law, if we don't have support for the one-year timeline amendment, we would certainly accept from the Liberals the two-year timeline to at least codify their stated goal right in the law.
