Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I'm absolutely delighted to be here.
The document that I read, similar to Mr. Warawa, was by Pembina. I think it was EAs for dummies. I wonder if I could borrow that. I forgot most of.... I'm just kidding, Mark.
There are two issues that I'd like to address.
I was also given the tour by the hardworking member from Wood Buffalo in the Fort McMurray region. When we were there, various industry proponents and those who were active made it clear that they wanted to know what the rules would be in terms of what Mr. Warawa has referred to, in terms of mitigation, sequestration, and the full gamut of legislative regimes that would be in place.
It occurred to me, and it occurs to me from what you've said, that the regional strategic sustainable study is in the process of being updated by the Alberta government. Am I correct in assuming that the agency, along with its role in terms of its knowledge of the mitigation issues related to climate change, which have been mentioned, and also in relation to the mandate of the regional plan that deals with acids, metals, organics.... But you didn't mention water. You mentioned water a little later in your deposition.
Would it be your role to make sure that both the latest mitigation techniques and the issue with respect to cumulative impacts, such as on water, would be part of the updated plan, part of the updated Wood Buffalo regional plan? I ask this because that seems to be a template that is very important with respect to both cumulative and mitigation initiatives and restrictions.
