Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all of the witnesses.
I'm very pleased that that we have representatives from Quebec organizations. That is very important, and I agree with Mr. Godin on that aspect.
I have a comment to make. I know it's very possible to take inspiration from other processes that are used in the country including the BAPE process. We have been working on environmental impact assessment for a long time. The BAPE model in Quebec has also been criticized.
I'm wondering if we should not draw some lessons from the shortcomings of the BAPE model. For instance, the BAPE mandates may be too restricted or too controlled by the administration. There is also a lack of power regarding follow-up. In fact, any response is political and is not based on what is in the law. These are very important issues we are facing currently.
Could we hear your comments please?
