Liberals reject most Tory amendments to environmental assessment bill
OTTAWA — The federal government is rejecting most of the amendments proposed by Conservative senators to Bill C-69.
A senior government official speaking on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said after going through every amendment — there were 187 by one count — the government has concluded most of the proposals by Conservative senators were designed to weaken the bill.
“The vast majority of conservative proposals are simply unacceptable,” he said.
