I guess what we have often heard as a committee is that if you have the right to sue in this country, then all of a sudden, everyone is going to be in the courts like they are in the United States, development is going to be held up, 60,000 loggers are going to lose their jobs, and 16,000 communities are going to disappear overnight in British Columbia, which is the kind of argument we heard when we were out there on endangered species.
Le comité s'est souvent fait dire que si on donnait le droit de poursuivre à tous nos citoyens, d'un coup tout le monde se retrouvera au tribunal, comme aux États-Unis, le développement sera freiné, 60 000 bûcherons perdront leur travail, et 16 000 communautés disparaîtront du jour au lendemain en Colombie-Britannique.
