Mr. Speaker, this is the same Minister of the Environment who once criticized Quebec for doing too much to protect the environment.
Can he tell us who asked him to scrap the Navigable Waters Protection Act, a century-old act?
He is clearly trying to pass the responsibility for environmental assessments on to the National Energy Board, which does not have the experience or the ability to protect the environment for future generations.
Is that not his real goal, to sacrifice the environment on the altar of his energy projects?
