Bundesmacht, um das indische Gesetz zu umgehen

Thankfully, the Bloc and CPC saw the wisdom in not allowing the government to exempt projects from any act of parliament, at any time. The list of untouchable acts being:

* (a) the *Access to Information Act*;
* (b) the *Canada Elections Act*;
* (c) the *Conflict of Interest Act*;
* (d) the *Criminal Code*;
* (e) the *Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act*;
* (f) the *Investment Canada Act*;
* (g) the *Lobbying Act*;
* (h) the *Official Languages Act*;
* (i) the *Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act*;
* (j) the *Indian Act*;
* (k) the *Auditor General Act*;
* (l) the *Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act*;
* (m) the *Railway Safety Act*;
* (n) the *Trade Unions Act*;
* (o) the *Explosives Act*; and
* (p) the *Hazardous Products Act*.

The government is also prohibited from adding acts to the list that can be exempted from when Parliament is prorogued or dissolved.

The following section is also added:

>Information available to public

>8.‍1 (1) When the Minister establishes the conditions for issuing the document that is deemed to be each authorization that is specified in the document in respect of a national interest project under section 7, the Minister must make public

>(a) all the conditions that apply to the project;

>(b) the full contents of the studies and impact assessments conducted regarding the project;

>(c) all the recommendations received from federal departments and agencies, provinces, territories and Indigenous peoples regarding the project;

>(d) in an accessible written document, the reasons some of the recommendations were not accepted; and

>(e) a description of the normal regulatory process that would have been followed if the project had not been designated as a national interest project.

>Content — document under paragraph (1)‍(d)

>(2) The document referred to in paragraph (1)‍(d) must include

>(a) a comparative analysis of the conditions imposed and the recommendations received;

>(b) an assessment of the risks of disregarding the recommendations that were not accepted; and

>(c) any alternative mitigation measures implemented.

So that’s a *lot* more sane than it was. Thanks to the Bloc and CPC, *no thanks* to the Liberals that voted against.
