Mr. Speaker, more bafflegab will not satisfy those people who will suffer from this very bad legislation. Saying the Liberal government will put fair and reasonable compensation in the regulations is like saying “Don't worry, just trust us”.
Canadians trusted this Liberal government to get rid of the GST and look what happened. To ask Canadians to expect the government to draw up regulations to provide fair market value is a very long stretch.
Why does the minister not simply admit that the legislation will not protect species at risk?
