Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here on relatively short notice. Your testimony is appreciated.
I'll begin my questions with Ms. Swanson.
I'd like to look at a few of the specific amendments in Bill C-45. I'll be referring to them by the clause number in Bill C-45 for ease of review, that have been brought up already today.
I'd like to start with clause 427. We've heard so far, Ms. Swanson, that there's a view this would broaden the exception, that this would somehow have adverse impacts. There are some assumptions made around the efficacy of the project list as well, that I believe were the basis of some of those comments.
I'd like to give you some time to comment on those comments and articulate your view on the efficacy of this change in clause 427.
