Yes but I do not understand why, for the same type of permits, the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board does not apply the same rules as the National Energy Board, whether or not this relates to the territories covered by this report.
For example, do you find it normal that there was no environmental assessment for certain projects and that those issues had to be resolved by the courts? Does the federal government, your department, believe that asking the courts to decide whether or not a permit will be granted is good environmental management?
