Thank you.
My first question is for Ms. Schwartz.
On the Canadian Electricity Association website, it says that:
CEA and its members recognize the importance of EA because the process provides an avenue for mitigating environmental effects, provides communities a forum to voice their concerns and suggestions, and helps decision makers better integrate a project's environmental, social and economic considerations.
I find this very interesting, as you mention the importance of public consultations. Are we to understand that the association is in favour of an environmental process that would have greater credibility from the population's perspective?
