  4. On Mark Carney's proposed changes to the law (which would allow him to rubber-stamp approval of long-route pipelines before any impact assessments can be completed):

    “It’s going to result in a lack of trust, it’s going to result in protests and it’s going to result in lawsuits (…). And that’s going to be a lot slower and it’s going to be a lot more divisive.”
