Mr. Speaker, Bill C-5, as it currently stands, would allow the federal government to say that it will consult Quebec, for example.
Quebec says no, it does not want a pipeline project within its borders. However, there is absolutely nothing in Bill C‑5 to indicate that a consensus or Quebec's approval would be required before a pipeline could be built.
Is the member aware of this reality? Does he agree that the provinces should have the final say on projects located within their borders?
