Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague. It is always a pleasure to appear before committee and talk about how we are advancing what we need to do, which is to figure out how we can make sure good projects go ahead. We know that we need to do that through very robust assessments.
However, in terms of what we have heard and what was reflected from a number of people, the focus is on how we ensure that good projects can go ahead with both regulatory certainty and clear timelines.
Our goal is one project, one review. We are streamlining the process and coordinating with the provinces and territories. We know this is very important in reducing red tape for companies and to avoid duplicating efforts, which we do not want to see.
We are making the process more predictable and timely. We are clarifying the process to engage stakeholders effectively and to identify potential issues with projects up front. These federal rules would actually increase regulatory certainty and clarity. I heard directly from CEOs and resource companies about the importance of having certainty of process. They also want to make sure that there is a process that is robust, and that is exactly what we are doing.
