Thank you.
To answer the question you just posed with respect to removing the minister's discretion and whether that would resolve the issue, it would, to a certain extent. That's why we were looking at proposed section 4 as a bit of a carve-out along the lines that Mr. O'Connor mentioned during his presentation.
One of the things we proposed in our written submissions to this committee was to include a substitution process that is automatic. In reverse, a jurisdiction could request that the minister exercise his or her authority to substitute the federal process if it was found that there were capacity issues or something like that, to allow the development of the capacity within the region.
This is like the substitution provision that's recommended in the bill in proposed section 31, but in reverse.
