Yes, and certainly, we Conservatives will join you in your hopes and prayers, but we obviously hoped for something a little more concrete.
Of course, as you know—and I might suggest this as a first place for you all to stop—there are dozens of projects with real proponents spending real money and losing real time. They're stuck in the federal regulatory process. They're stuck in front of all of these various pieces of legislation and regulations that you are now identifying as barriers to projects getting built. That's why you're bringing in Bill C-5 to fast-track these projects. I would suggest that you might want to start there with the real proponents of real projects, who are stuck in front of your regulatory mess right now, and give them some certainty.
To that end, can I ask you about the lack of the two-year timeline embedded right in the legislation, including criteria and conditions that will be made behind closed doors, and then where projects will be adjudicated on an ad hoc, case-by-case basis? How do those two embedded uncertainties—not yet addressed in the bill, but we hope you'll accept some amendments in that regard—possibly give private sector investors or proponents the certainty that they want to get these big, major, nation-building projects built for the benefit of all of us?
