I think this is a really important amendment. All the amendments are important, but this one I think is an oversight.
I'm adding a proposed paragraph (f) to the list of factors to be considered—and this was a recommendation that some committee members will remember was from the Wildlife Conservation Society Canada —that the minister's determination of factors should include, where it's actually occurred, any outcomes from relevant regional and strategic assessments.
When you look at this, it's a bare-bones amendment. It refers you to proposed sections 92, 93, or 95. Those are the sections that deal with regional and strategic assessments.
Obviously if there has been a determination and outcome from a regional strategic assessment that the cumulative effects of, say, project x will be to tip an ecosystem into cascading population collapses, the minister can't ignore that factor. We ought to list that as one of the factors to be considered.
