Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for coming, and thank you to our witnesses in Saskatchewan.
I'm going to begin by asking about sustainability assessment, which focuses on the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of a project rather than merely on determining the significance of adverse, mainly biophysical, environmental effects. It seeks to improve positive elements of a project as well as to mitigate the negative ones.
I'm just wondering if I can go to the three witnesses. Do you think that CEAA should be amended to require assessment of the environmental and socio-economic sustainability of projects, and not just their adverse environmental effects?
One-word answers are fine.
