I can speak to the generalities, and Steve might be able to give you some details on the numbers of projects.
The way that works is that the vast majority of projects that are assessed undergo screening-type assessments, probably in the order of 6,000 to 7,000 projects a year across government.
For the most part, those are relatively small projects with relatively minor environmental effects. They can range, at the lowest level, if you will, from park benches in a national park, or something along those lines, to what I would consider to be fairly important projects, and in some cases to certain types of mining projects, and so forth.
The decision as to whether or not a project is a screening-type assessment or a comprehensive study type of assessment, which is the more rigorous version of the assessment process, is set out in regulation. Where a project meets the criteria set out in regulation, a comprehensive study would be required--so mining projects above a certain production capacity, hydro-electric projects above a certain production capacity, roads longer than a certain distance, and so forth.
In the case of comprehensive studies, there is participant funding available and funding for aboriginal groups to participate. And if I'm not mistaken, there will probably be, at any one time, a couple of dozen, or perhaps more, comprehensive studies being assessed at a given time--so 25 to 40, perhaps, at any one time.
As well, in situations where, as a result of a screening-type assessment, or when it's determined that the effects resulting from the project could be significant, the project could be referred to a review panel. And participant funding is available for those as well. Those can be stand-alone review panels, federal-only review panels, or joint review panels with another jurisdiction. And we have one active right now. There are others coming, we expect.
That gives you a sense of how we arrive at whether or not a project is a comprehensive study or a panel, whether or not funding is available, and an order of magnitude, at least, of the numbers of projects we're talking about.
