Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for coming.

I am struggling. We are hearing two very polarized views, in some ways, of CEAA, 2012. For example, from one group, it's strengthened and focused, and it strikes the right balance. From the other side, it's not a solid foundation for good decision-making; it's regulatory rather than planning; it's narrow, and focuses on large projects, and there is a risk of missing cumulative effects.

I'd like to give both groups an opportunity to respond to that.
