We believe that public participation is critical. Unfortunately, under the previous government that was sometimes unnecessarily curtailed or prevented. We are happy to consider amendments that would make it stronger, for example, the words “meaningful public participation”. The only way you're going to make good decisions on projects is if you listen to the people who will be impacted by them. We need to do that. That is our commitment to rebuilding trust, and I think that's a critical part of this.
