So when the government says to us that Canada's environmental regime, for example, that embracing the Beaufort, which is contiguous to the Northwest Territories and is part of the cumulative environmental assessment that ought to be looked at going forward...when the government tells us that regime is more stringent than in the United States, for example, it's hard to understand that, given that, for example, in Canada, we don't require an environmental assessment at the licence, bidding, and auction stage, do we, as they do in the United States?
