Bill No. 101 - the Marine Renewable-energy Act. - 3rd Reading

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to also support this bill as I did in my previous comments. The way it was explained to us in the briefing, and which is supported by our own research, is that this is a new area, this is a unique bill across the country, and so it will necessarily need to be updated fairly regularly to keep up with our understanding and that's what being done here.

We're also glad to see that the applications will no longer be first come, first served, but as I said in previous comments, we're looking forward to understanding how those will be evaluated as that grows. But, in general, we are in support of the bill, and we thank the minister for bringing it forward.
