Thank you. That's an important question, actually, because I've seen and heard questions about that.
To be really clear, even if there were permits allowed for early works, that wouldn't be a guarantee that the project would actually be successful and approved. I just want that piece to be clear. I also want to be really clear that early works doesn't mean you get to do the whole project and call it an “early works”, which is the other piece. It's circumscribed. That's the second part.
I'll say that early work can be exercised only if it's in the public interest. However, also, to be clear, it still requires permits and conditions along with those permits. It isn't a blank cheque to get started on the project and, “Oops, while we were in that one year, we pretty much completed most of it.” It's circumscribed. It will have to have permits. It will have to have conditions. It's not a guarantee that there's going to be a positive outcome in the evaluation.
