Green MPs on proposed Impact Assessment Act changes, tone of Parliament – May 2, 2024

In Ottawa, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and MP Mike Morrice raise concerns about proposed amendments to the Impact Assessment Act introduced in the federal budget implementation bill. The proposals aim to ensure the federal assessment law for resource projects is constitutionally sound.

May responds to questions about the tone of Parliament in wake of Pierre Poilievre's recent ejection from the House of Commons. Speaker Greg Fergus ejected the Conservative leader following a dispute over his use of unparliamentary language during question period.
