My question to the member is, has she heard from local communities in her area—or, for that matter, across the province—about raising the leave-to-construct threshold?

I listened intently to the remarks, so far, from everyone.

I’d like the member from Simcoe–Grey to speak to something that probably won’t be asked by too many others: about the leave to construct, about the changes in there. I think that’s important. I don’t know whether anyone else will touch on it.

I want to get something on the record before I ask the member a question: Most people’s pension plans in this province are invested in Enbridge pipelines. That’s the billionaires you’re talking about, so you guys need to go to the economics and understand that most of the people you’re talking about are your constituents, who would be hurt if this money—it’s not sitting under a mattress somewhere; it’s invested in equipment, pipelines etc.

But anyway, back to the member for Whitby: I’d like to ask you about the leave to construct.
