Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Minister, for being here once again to discuss this very important bill.
As you know, I have a long history as a community activist fighting against a mega-dump expansion that threatened my community's water supply, and I've been through environmental assessments on a number of occasions. I want to ensure, as you do, that public participation in the process is strong and meaningful. I have put forward several amendments this week to strengthen public participation by ensuring the words “meaningful public participation” are added to the bill.
Is this something you would support? Can you comment on how this would strengthen the regulations that will follow?
