Mr. Speaker, the NDP wants to develop projects of national interest that serve communities, respect first nations and guarantee a healthy environment for everyone, everywhere. There are ways to achieve that, but this bill offers us no guarantees. It gives one minister all the power to choose the projects.
Once this bill is passed, we could end up with projects that cross through communities and provinces, that increase our greenhouse gas emissions and that pose a danger to the environment.
That is what the NDP fears.
