Regarding the assessment of the need for the project, I think that implicit to that is an assessment under CEAA of the business case for the project. Presumably, any project brought before CEAA will already have passed the business case test and, by definition, be economical—or at least the proponents are risking their own money.
And I'm certainly not qualified to do this, but do you, Dr. Sinclair, or Dr. Gibson, with all due respect, see yourselves as qualified to question the business case by proponents?
