Mr. Speaker, I would inquire if the minister sincerely believes the bill will meet constitutional scrutiny. We know the bill prescribes that projects of national importance will, essentially, be treated as a forgone conclusion. We also know the duty to consult, identified by the Supreme Court, has repeatedly held that the government has to consult in good faith. How can the government have consultation in good faith when it comes with a forgone conclusion?
Does the minister truly believe the bill will meet constitutional scrutiny?
