In the case of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, yes, that funding is to ensure a smooth transition to the proposed new process, should it be approved by Parliament. The desire, should that be approved, is that it would come into force rather quickly.
We've heard a considerable amount from stakeholders and industry about how they need certainty of process, so we need to prepare. With the advent of the early planning process, we'll need increased staff to the agency to be on the ground out in regions, to be able to work with proponents and stakeholders, to ensure that we're engaging earlier in the process and to work with indigenous groups as well, so we're setting that up.
As well, we've heard strongly that the guidance to support this new system needs to be developed in a collaborative manner. We will be hosting workshops and working with folks throughout the course of this year to prepare that material so that we're in a no-surprises environment and can afford that regulatory certainty for all.
