A lot of good answers here, and olive branches to O&G, specifically saying yes to new pipelines

Beat me to it haha, I'm surprised they are waiting till fall, which is going to be half or more through the fiscal year

Given the circumstances and the severe uncertainty of what’s going on economically, I’ll grudgingly accept it in the present circumstances… That said, Parliament recesses June 23rd and resumes Sept 15th. I would hope and expect to see something promptly once they resume.

I'm thinking should vs shall .

I believe we will. It’s a political liability as is, the recognize the need for this to happen. I donMt have any reason to to think PMMC would dick around on this.

Awfully generous of our government to sit for a few weeks in Parliament.

Parliament’s not the government and the government’s not Parliament. The executive branch will be busy all summer doing their thing, and I fully expect will have teams drafting legislation they’ll want to see introduced in Parliament once it’s back. They can also push a lot forward in the regulatory space without Parliament in session, and there’s probably some low hanging fruit there in terms of things that will immediately start advancing policy objectives. Even if Parliament sat well into the summer, odds of much being ready to go legislatively would be low. I’m not fussed about this.

I give it 50/50. There won't be anything in the way of ramifications if they don't.

Even if Parliament sat well into the summer, odds of much being ready to go legislatively would be low. I’m not fussed about this.

It seems like the Parliament is becoming less and less useful. Parliamentary oversight doesn't really seem important to Canadians.

FIRST READING: Carney is already steamrolling basic constraints on power​

Only two months into the job, Prime Minister Mark Carney is already steamrolling through the usual checks by which a Canadian government is supposed to spend and manage taxpayer money.

During the federal election, Carney greenlit a record $70 billion without Parliamentary approval. And now, even before the House of Commons has reconvened, his government has signalled its intentions not to publish a budget.

Special warrants are a routine part of government. Hopper is rage farming.

Exactly this.

Part of his charade is a exploiting the ignorance of his audience to parliamentary system of government. Special warrants mean we are able to still function as a country if there are delays in passing a budget (such as an Election), and prevents the massive debacle that ensues down south when Congress can't pass theirs.

But then again, these are they kind of folks that want to exercise their 1A rights to be Manitoba... so I offer them nothing but eye rolls.

It also puts all those shiny new MPs in a position to be in their ridings for a few months, with at least some interaction with constituents for whatever that's worth in shaping subsequent legislation, committee work, etc.

ill be curious how he dances on that pin. What pipelines? Where? Whos paying?

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

There was an article in yesterday's Montreal's Gazette where, in an interview, Quebec's Premier was saying that Quebecers are slowly coming around to accepting pipelines.

That, of course, is bull*%^). The majority of Quebecers, as opposed to the vociferous minority of eco-maniacs, has always been in favour of pipelines. What the majority of Quebecers have a problem with is the crossing of the St Lawrence river - the primary source of drinking water for four million Quebecers - not being protected by extreme safety measures guaranteeing the waters safety at the crossing point. And there are ways to do so but they are expensive and the oil companies don't want to spring for them, at least at this point.

The last time (energy east) a company tried to get a pipeline approved, they refused to provide the information required by the Federal environmental review board on how they were going to safeguard the drinking water. They simply pulled their request for authorization instead and then, blamed Quebec for the denial.

Meet that safe crossing requirement and then, you'll see that Quebecers (the majority, not the eco-nuts) are not the obstacle they are made to be.

He's the leader of the opposition in a minority government that represented 120ish ridings across Canada. It's pretty easy to limit spending when your support is just downtown Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and 3 small east coast provinces.

$7.4M on staff to research policies and finally get rid of Trudeau is money well spent.

That should be the job of those 120-ish MPs of his.

This isn't a slam specifically on PP, and I know everybody likes to hear things from their own Big Giant Head, but if we are going to have MPs/MPPs/MLAs maybe give them gainful employment. If it is a big announcement of some local or regional importance, perhaps, but some of these folks have never met a mike they didn't like and want to show up for every letter opening.

It is almost like he realizes that we need our current economy to fund a future one.

Exactly this.

Part of his charade is a exploiting the ignorance of his audience to parliamentary system of government. Special warrants mean we are able to still function as a country if there are delays in passing a budget (such as an Election), and prevents the massive debacle that ensues down south when Congress can't pass theirs.

But then again, these are they kind of folks that want to exercise their 1A rights to be Manitoba... so I offer them nothing but eye rolls.

And this is why we don't have the annual brinksmanship of the US government being able to fund itself.

 

[PuckChaser]

Meet that safe crossing requirement and then, you'll see that Quebecers (the majority, not the eco-nuts) are not the obstacle they are made to be.

So we've found the line. Billions of liters of untreated waste water dumped into the River good, pipeline bad.

 

[Jarnhamar]

Is there anything stopping Carney from just using these special warrants for the next 4 years?

does it have to cross the St. Lawrence?
What if it terminates on the north side?
What if its just a gas extension?

 

[dapaterson]

Carney did not use those warrants.

The Governor General did.

The GG did it because the writ had been dropped and the GG has the legal responsibility to keep government operating during the election period.

Had the warrants not been issued, the GoC would have shut down. No pay for the public service, RCMP or CAF. no government expenditures.

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

So we've found the line. Billions of liters of untreated waste water dumped into the River good, pipeline bad.

Actually, that stopped many, many, many years ago. The Great Lakes and St Lawrence river agreements with the US means that both on the Canadian and US side, dumping of unfiltered waste water was stopped in the 1980's. The water is quite safe, even to swim in, these days.

In any event, the human/chemical waste could be filtered for and corrected at the intake filtration plants of most cities. Crude oil can't.

 

[PuckChaser]

They dumped 8 billion liters in 2015. Not many many years ago.

 

[suffolkowner]

is the dumping not a function of combined sewer and storm water systems? Lots of municipalities have had that problem

 

[MilEME09]

ill be curious how he dances on that pin. What pipelines? Where? Whos paying?

Really all on who applies now, as of right now there are only two proposed pipelines over 40km
