Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Carlton, your colleague Ray Orb has worked for many years on rural municipal issues in Saskatchewan and nationally. I have a great deal of respect for the leadership he's brought.
I know that small municipalities have complained in the past about the sheer burden of permit seeking, and that drove some of the reform made by the previous administration.
However, I'd like to get your sense of the appropriate approach to defining these middle-ground clashes of works between minor and major works in the context of navigable waters, because the context is a bit different from an impact assessment. In the context of navigation, we're dealing solely with federal regulatory power. There's no overlap here. If a project is subject to a different degree of scrutiny, there's not going to be some backup.
I'm interested to hear if you have a set of criteria that you think would be best used.
