The inspectors are overloaded right now because they have so many permits that they're falling further and further behind.

The federal government's role is to establish a process whereby industry can pitch a project, and Canadians can be reassured that this project is worth the risk. That's at the heart of governments granting permits and communities granting permission. People understand we do need economic growth. We do need natural resource projects.

In D.C., I've passed amendments to allocate $6.3 million to keep our waterways open for business, $1 million as a down payment on our wetland restoration - our natural storm protection - and $5 million to ensure that drilling permits are reviewed thoroughly and efficiently.

If people could get permits here, I'm sure that more Americans would be over here. There's 10 or 11 of us over here now, and it's been really, really good.

If you look at the actual facts on the ground, they have thousands of more drilling permits in their pockets than they can even drill on. So why is Congress or the administration always looking for ways to exempt the wealthiest companies in the world from their environmental responsibilities?

In this case we don't have to allege anything. ... The pulp mill already admitted violating (its) permits (by asking for variances). In federal law, (the industry) can't ask for variances unless they are violating the terms of their permit.

If there was a home on every vacant lot, we wouldn't be able to service them all until at least 2009. We didn't expect 7,300 building permits and people coming in droves.

I don't know how we can get through the zoning, subdivision and land development process and get all the permits we need by Oct. 1. If we don't have all the permits and approvals, there won't be a settlement.

Change can take place only when liberal and radical pressures are both strong. Intelligent liberals have always recognized the debt they owe to radicals, whose existence permits liberals to push further than they would otherwise have dared, all the while posing as compromisers and mediators. Radicals, however, have been somewhat less sensible of their debt to liberals, partly because of the rather single-minded discipline radicals are almost forced to maintain, plagued as they always are by liberal backsliding and timidity on the one hand and various forms of self-destructiveness and romantic posing on the other.... Liberal reforms and radical change

The conditions that led to the original designation of TPS for these Central Americans were not such that persons could not return home in the first place, and there clearly is no such justification now several years later. Further, it is an insult to the American public to use the TPS process to give legal work status to persons who entered the US illegally as is the case with most of the Central Americans benefiting from the administration's action. It is absurd to believe that these persons who entered the US illegally are going to voluntarily return to their home country once their work permits are no longer valid.

The citizens, for example, were not used to getting their permits this quickly, so they didn't bring their checkbooks with them to pay for the permits.
