I agree that there should be a joint panel for the Ring of Fire. One of the problems we've seen in the changes is that we've given greater latitude to the minister to determine what has to be assessed and how it should be assessed. These shouldn't be political decisions. They should be public policy decisions that are put before an independent agency.
One of the determinants of whether you get a panel or not should be public concern over the issue. So if you have the constitutionally required consultation with the local community and it says, “We want a full panel”, that should have some bearing on the decision to have a full panel or not.
