Mr. Speaker, our government's proposed amendments to the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act include many measures to increase environmental protections, including increased fines and the introduction of a civil penalty regime.
We have yet to hear any of your views on increased environmental protection measures in the bill.
The bill would also include amendments to allow for cost recovery of environmental assessments. Again, we have not heard any view from your party on these important additions to the regulatory framework in the Northwest Territories.
What is the NDP's position on our government's efforts to increase environmental protection for the benefit of Canada's north?
