Madam Speaker, the Liberal government has been talking about restoring the confidence of Canadians in the environmental assessment process around these pipelines. Yesterday, at a hastily called news conference, it announced what it called a new process. However, it will not change anything with the NEB assessment process at all. There is nothing to address questions that companies refuse to answer, nothing to talk about documents that are not available in both official languages, and nothing to restore cross examination. I wonder if he could explain why Canadians would think there is a restoration of credibility in the process when the NEB process is really untouched.
In the House of Commons on January 28th, 2016. See this statement in context.
