Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are continuing their attacks on Canadian heritage lakes and rivers.
By weakening the Navigable Waters Protection Act and thus eliminating protections for our lakes and rivers, all through measures hidden in a second massive budget implementation bill, the Conservatives are allowing the development of infrastructure that could harm these same waterways without requiring that environmental assessments be conducted first.
How many lakes and rivers will be laid to waste and how many environmental assessments will be set aside because of Bill C-45?
