Mr. Everson, you testified that this opens things up to some sort of abuse of the law by competitors. There are projects going on in my riding. We also have potential for wind energy and shale gas. We have potential for geothermal. We could actually be a green energy producer in the northern part of Nova Scotia.
If you were a company bidding on one of these projects, these government contracts or provincial government contracts, and you didn't get the bid, would you then possibly try to slow that project down? Does it open it up to abuse by people, because of sour grapes because of not getting the contract, if every resident can do it? Does it open it up to abuse by a competitor who may be unsuccessful getting this bid or by another competitor who may see the project coming and a vast amount of competition in his or her own current business? Does it open it up to abuse by other competitors and failed competitors?
