Story summary

NDP Leader Avi Lewis criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney's proposed legislation, Bill C-39, saying it represents a significant overhaul of Canada's project review processes that Canadians did not vote for. The bill aims to revise how major projects are assessed in the country, which has drawn opposition from labour unions and Indigenous leaders who view the changes as undermining environmental protections and consultation rights. Lewis argues that such drastic reforms were not part of the political agenda during recent elections, suggesting a disconnect between the government's legislative priorities and public expectations.
