There are two separate provisions there. There's the one that Christine noted, that there's the ability to request additional information. The nature of the section that we're talking about, where we can extend the timeline in subsection 19(2), just provides the agency with the power to extend the timeline, but subsection 19(3) empowers the agency to require information of the proponent as well. Without that provision, we would be able to extend the timeline, but not actually have the power to require the information.
