Mr. Chair, thank you. Thank you to our witnesses for their presentations today.
My questions are for CAPP and MAC today. They are with regard to timelines.
As you know, in 2010 the amendments to the act were to streamline the process so that now all comprehensive studies begin in alignment with the provincial reviews. Timeline regulations came into force in June 2011 for comprehensive studies. These regulations provide 90 days for the agency to determine whether to commence a comprehensive study and 365 days to provide a completed report for the public.
What are your associations' views regarding the new timeline requirements? Do you think they're important? What are your views on them?
