First of all, even if the federal government does not conduct assessments of oil sands projects, that does not mean that no assessment is being done. In fact, these projects fall under provincial jurisdiction. These projects should be assessed.
As I stated earlier, our process is dependent upon a federal decision being made pertaining to these projects. In the absence of a federal decision, federal authorities are not entitled to carry out an assessment.
In the case of the Kearl project, the court did indeed state that the panel had not sufficiently justified its conclusions with regard to the effects of the project as far as greenhouse gas emissions are concerned. And the review panel redid its work in response to the demands of the Federal Court.
