Thank you, Chair.
Again, given the lack of transparent decision-making and the wide scope and scale of political decision-making that this bill allows, Conservatives are attempting—and hoping the Liberals will accept—to provide transparency to the project list. This amendment would strengthen that transparency by requiring all national interest projects to be published in an online public registry with clear details, costs and timelines. That, we believe, would ensure that Canadians and proponents could hold the government accountable, understand why each project qualifies and be confident in the process. We propose this, mainly, on the principle of transparency and accountability.
