I understand. I appreciate that response.
I do hope that the FCM will be able to bring advice to the government on how best also to engage in a cumulative effects study, and also on managing flows. These are all issues.... I appreciate that sometimes it's the delays around permitting that frustrate municipalities, but I think municipalities also have a strong interest in ensuring that they're not affected by reduction in flows from projects. It kind of goes both ways. Municipalities have an interest in this being done well and water flows being protected.
I'd like to direct my last question to Mr. Doelle to expand on the issue of a specialized tribunal.
You've gone in some direction here on what kind of criteria, what kind of decisions they could be involved in. I wonder if you have advice on what kind of simple enabling provision might best be framed for legislation of this sort. Perhaps it could be developed later on in a regulation. What kinds of core aspects do you think would need to be brought into legislation so that the concept could be more fully consulted upon?
If you want to submit that in writing after, I'd be very interested to hear your or any other witness's thoughts on that.
