Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my hon. colleague's question and his reference to something that is a core commitment for me, which is to build a sustainable economy in Canada. I think this bill tries to strike a balance between where we are at as a country, having to move much faster, and also trying to balance that with protecting what we hold as core values on this side, which is to protect our environment. We need to ensure that we have projects and a major project list that contribute to our climate commitments and help Canada take advantage of the clean growth opportunities, but also have mitigation measures, accommodations and adaptations that can be built into the core requirements of any project.
