They have been called upon by all of the premiers in this country every year for the past 10 years. The smart regulator has called for these changes. In fact, the Commissioner of Environmental Sustainability, who reports to this House, has called for precisely these changes. They would increase the authority of the <a data-HoCid=\"128634\" href=\"/politicians/jim-abbott/\" title=\"Jim Abbott\">Minister of the Environment </a> and of CEAA to streamline the process to make it more effective and more responsive to Canadians.</p>",

Chaque ann\u00e9e, depuis dix ans, les premiers ministres de toutes les provinces canadiennes r\u00e9clament ces modifications. Le rapport sur la r\u00e9glementation intelligente a recommand\u00e9 ces modifications. Le commissaire \u00e0 l\u2019environnement et au d\u00e9veloppement durable, qui fait rapport \u00e0 la Chambre, r\u00e9clame ces modifications qui donneraient au <a data-HoCid=\"128634\" href=\"/politicians/jim-abbott/\" title=\"Jim Abbott\">ministre de l'Environnement</a> et \u00e0 l\u2019Agence canadienne d\u2019\u00e9valuation environnementale un pouvoir accru, soit celui de d\u00e9finir la port\u00e9e du processus d'\u00e9valuation environnementale afin de le rendre plus efficace et plus souple pour les Canadiens.</p>"
