Yes, absolutely. Exactly as it is for NEB, with the option to opt in.... It may be that a proponent enters very late before this act comes into force and says they'll plan for the next one. Certain elements of this act may prove to be more attractive. We don't know. The early planning is an innovation. It has potential. It may be that a proponent may choose to opt in to take advantage of the early planning idea in this act. But we ask that the option, just as it is for NEB projects, be left to the discretion of the proponent between now and the act coming into force.
