"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5290568\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague opposite just claimed that the minister's role in the new proposed process is limited and discretionary. That is not the case.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Both the minister and the commissioner have the ability to deny a project in the preplanning phase, before it even gets to the impact assessment. There are multiple times at which the so-called timelines can be stopped and extended for as long as the minister or the regulator wishes, and as many times as he or she wishes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290570\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the very end, in the case approval is given, the minister still has the discretion to ask for further studies and further consultation, which of course is what the B.C. NDP is doing right now, trying to kill the Trans Mountain expansion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Instead of the Liberals just making these claims based on rhetoric and not actually on the content of the legislation, why do they not listen to experts, including an energy investment bank, Suncor, and other private sector energy proponents who just want to make billions of dollars in investment in the Canadian economy to help the entire country? They are now saying the timelines are not concrete. There is more uncertainty. There is a lack of clarity. They even say that there is an alarming concentration of power in one individual, and that these proposals run counter to all the things the Liberals claim to be doing.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5290568\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, mon coll\u00e8gue d'en face vient tout juste de pr\u00e9tendre que le r\u00f4le du ministre dans le nouveau processus propos\u00e9 est limit\u00e9 et discr\u00e9tionnaire. Ce n'est pas le cas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tant le ministre que le commissaire ont la capacit\u00e9 de refuser un projet au cours de l'\u00e9tape de la planification pr\u00e9paratoire, avant m\u00eame que le projet se rende \u00e0 l'\u00e9valuation d'impact. Le ministre ou l'organisme de r\u00e9glementation peut, autant de fois qu'il le souhaite, revoir ou retarder les pr\u00e9tendus \u00e9ch\u00e9anciers aussi longtemps qu'il le d\u00e9sire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290570\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 la toute fin, dans le cas o\u00f9 un projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 approuv\u00e9, le ministre a toujours le pouvoir discr\u00e9tionnaire d'exiger d'autres \u00e9tudes et d'autres consultations, ce qui est, bien s\u00fbr, ce que font actuellement les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates de la Colombie-Britannique pour tenter de torpiller le projet d'expansion du r\u00e9seau Trans Mountain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au lieu de faire de telles d\u00e9clarations fond\u00e9es sur des discours creux et non sur le contenu du projet de loi, pourquoi les lib\u00e9raux n'\u00e9coutent-ils pas les experts, notamment Suncor, une banque d'investissement dans l'\u00e9nergie, et d'autres promoteurs priv\u00e9s du secteur de l'\u00e9nergie, qui ne souhaitent qu'investir des milliards de dollars dans l'\u00e9conomie canadienne ce qui aiderait l'ensemble du pays? Ces investisseurs disent maintenant que les \u00e9ch\u00e9anciers ne sont pas concrets. Il y a davantage d'incertitude et un manque de clart\u00e9. Les investisseurs disent m\u00eame qu'il y a une concentration de pouvoir inqui\u00e9tante entre les mains d'une seule personne et que ces propositions sont diam\u00e9tralement oppos\u00e9es \u00e0 tout ce que les lib\u00e9raux pr\u00e9tendent faire.</p>"
