If we understand the amendment right, it's suggesting that they would be non-voting, but the panels do not vote in any way, shape, or form. The panels provide recommendations to the minister or to the government. In this instance, they would be made to the government, to make a decision as to whether a project would proceed under the impact assessment act, and in this instance, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board act. So there is no voting, if you will.
