Mr. Speaker, the government's refusal to act on northern deregulation threatens the Mackenzie Valley pipeline.
The current scheme in the north has been called both complex and unpredictable. As a result, confusing regulations imperil the pipeline along with progress for aboriginals and the environment.
In September the government's own smart regulation adviser lambasted the government. The regulatory framework in the north is broken. That is the fault of the government.
Why is the government threatening the Mackenzie Valley pipeline and the health of the environment by refusing to respond?
