Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses, all the amazing women, for your informative opening statements. I really appreciate that.
I will start with Ms. Exner-Pirot.
You talked about the need to get things built and shipped. You talked about being a strong international trading partner. You talked about Canada's competitiveness. We've heard from other witnesses and yourself about the investment challenges that proponents face, including duplication, sequencing and uncertainty around how long federal decisions will take. From the perspective of investment, how important is the time to a decision, whether it's a yes or a no?
How would a predictable one-year federal decision window change Canada's competitiveness for capital?
