I think again that we have to be clear. Environmental assessment has as its primary purpose early planning. There has to be a focus on whether there is something to be worried about and, if so, how we are going to address it. To me, that's the fundamental premise and the most important thing in EA. I don't think that elaborate enforcement mechanisms are going to get us over the goal line, necessarily. We definitely need conditions that are important information as to how to design and advance the project and we need follow-up, to know how it turned out.
