I see this as a process that we're involved in now. We're taking our first step with Bill C-227 to start to set the stage for an expectation of community benefits, and these will be different in different regions and in different communities. Eventually, we should put into regulation what those community benefits would include, such as apprenticeship numbers and outreach to diverse communities where we've looked at other considerations. I think those could be put in regulation as we move forward, and then at some point as we've tested this, and as we've seen the areas of strength and weakness as it roles out, then perhaps it would be time to come back to create an infrastructure that has the benefit of real life experience.
