Unlike the Conservatives, who acted as a “cheerleader” on such projects, the Liberals intend to see that all aspects of energy proposals are carefully examined with the interests of all concerned, including First Nations communities, Mr. Trudeau said Tuesday after meeting with Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre, who has voiced strong opposition to Calgary-based TransCanada Corp.’s Energy East pipeline.
“Canadians know you can’t build a strong economy without protecting the environment,” Mr. Trudeau said, adding that his government plans to strengthen existing environmental assessment processes.
“The federal government’s role is to put in place a process through which TransCanada or any other company might proceed to demonstrate that a project is in the public interest and get Canadians’ approval.”

The federal government intends to require a separate climate test for proposed pipelines and a planned LNG export terminal, which are now under regulatory review, to determine their impact on Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, possibly resulting in new delays on major projects.
In other words, we're going to float these things in committee until they die, because we need to re-invent the process that's already pretty strident.
