Mr. Speaker, we were elected with a clear mandate in the last election. It is a mandate to achieve great things, to be bold and ambitious in responding to the challenges of our time. Bill C-5 is in keeping with this spirit.
With Bill C-5, we will be able to move forward more quickly on projects of national interest. This is consistent with the “one project, one review” approach. We understand that we must act now to strengthen the Canadian economy, unify it to create good jobs, stimulate the economy and make Canada's economy the strongest in the G7.
