There are a couple of questions that came up in earlier testimony. I'd like to give you the remainder of my time to expand upon your thoughts in the comments you made about this becoming a regulatory process, but perhaps also with regard to some of the statements that have been made about cumulative impact analysis.
My understanding, through previous testimony in review of CEAA was that I understood it to be simple. Cumulative assessment often happens more effectively in a land use planning process within a provincial jurisdiction, and I realize this is an over-simplification, but inserting it into an environmental assessment process has the effect of complicating the purpose of an EA as well as expanding it more into the realm of industrial development policy.
I'll leave you with those two points to comment on, given your experience. I'll use the remainder of my time for that.
