The fundamental point is that regional and strategic assessments have to mean something. They have to lead to some type of change in decision-making and process if that's what the outcome of the assessment suggests. One of the ways we've suggested dealing with that, in the Mikisew Cree brief, is by creating a power so that if a regional or strategic assessment finds that there is a high level of cumulative effects in a region, there would be a process to create new triggers for new assessments that are reflective of that situation.
