I'm happy to go first.
This is something we identified as one potential weakness. We know that the preapplication phase has no statutory limit, so that's something we have concerns about. Of course, the bill does not accomplish its intended goal if all the delays just move to a different phase. That is not something we want.
With regard to your recommendation, I think that would be a welcome amendment. We did, in our submission during the consultation process over the summer, talk about having clear, published criteria and clear deadlines in that regard. This is something we would generally support.
