Natural Resources committee  We're not sure that extending the length of the process and having additional consultation is going to result in more confidence in the process itself. We will have more confidence in the process when governments stand up and make a strong case for why approving these pieces of infrastructure will be important for the economy as a whole, and for how this can be done in such a way as to mitigate the impacts.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to say how much we appreciate the opportunity to address the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. I think this study on the future of Canada's natural resources sectors is quite timely. This is my first time presenting in front of a parliamentary committee, and I'm glad I get to present on a topic that has been so central to the chamber's advocacy for the last few years.
