I thank both witnesses for being here today. It's an important discussion we're having. I note that Ms. Kenny started by commenting that she'd been around as a regulator on these issues for most of her career.
Mr. Lindgren, I noted that you commented that you have been around the table on these particular discussions for some time. You mentioned that you had a little more hair when you started. I identify with that remark. I've been around the table a little while myself. I think you've done a better job of holding onto your hair.
Having established that, my question is actually directed towards CEPA.
CEPA was one of nine signatories to a letter on June 30, 2011, to the Minister of Natural Resources. That letter noted improvements to the coordination of federal environmental assessment as a result of the Jobs and Economic Growth Act passed by the government. CEAA is now responsible for most comprehensive study-level environmental assessments.
Could you please elaborate on the position that CEPA took at that time in support of improvements coming out of the Jobs and Economic Growth Act?
