actually, i think what he's said - consistently - is that he'll use a rubber stamp review process to try and convince environmentalists to stop opposing the pipelines - in so much psychologically tricky language. because he thinks you're stupid. just like harper....

his basic argument is that gutting the environmental reviews is the cause of the opposition, and that if the government was performing it's proper orwellian functions than the "ministry of the environment" would be properly functioning as the "ministry of industry", and nobody would be upset about this. therefore, in order to get opposition levels down to a point where they can build the pipelines, the government needs to put the environmental review process back in place. it's what people in britain refer to as "new labour psychology".

it's just that he went bond criminal on it and explained it open view - at the *debates*, actually.
