In jurisdictions like Norway and the North Sea, exploratory drilling permits seem to be approved much faster, at least that's what we're told. Are you confident that this legislation will lead to a faster process, in which the C-NLOPB, as a licensed regulator, will have authority over smaller projects like exploratory wells? Similarly, once the CEAA has completed the strategic environmental assessment, do you feel the timelines in the bill are adequate? Should they be lengthened or shortened?
