Mr. Speaker, the problem is that it is now 2012.
Other Conservatives are against Bill C-38, including voters and the hon. member for Kootenay—Columbia.
The government claims that overlap in federal and provincial jurisdictions is creating delays and unnecessary costs. That is absolutely not true. An internal document prepared for the Minister of the Environment confirms that there has been no overlap since last fall.
What, then, is the real reason behind the government's decision to dismantle environmental assessments in Bill C-38?
