Mr. Chair, as I answered earlier this evening, the objective of the responsible resource development legislation, as all of the other integral parts of the jobs, growth and prosperity budget that is before Parliament, is aimed at improving the climate for job creation in Canada while at the same time ensuring the protection of the environment.
The economic benefits will be abundant, multi-dimensional in any number of areas, as will the benefits, for example, with regard to our climate change sectoral regulatory process, which is already reducing costs to Canadian taxpayers.
