Mr. Speaker, it is quite simple: real projects planned out with predictable permitting timelines. Any serious project requires planning. Businesses, workers and communities need to know when decisions will be made. That is why Bill C‑39 seeks to make processes more predictable and efficient, with the goal of reaching a federal decision within one year when an application is complete. This does not mean projects will be approved automatically; it means we are providing a clear timeline while continuing to follow the rules.
