Meanwhile, Madam Minister, there are projects proceeding and being approved and those include the oil sands. Under the previous government, the Harper government, they chose to exempt a good number of the oil sands projects from federal assessment.
One of the areas that the first nations in northern Alberta are concerned about is the use of solvent for in situ, and currently in situ are exempted from CEAA. Six aboriginal groups contacted me last October making that request and I'm wondering if you are moving forward to make some kind of interim measure to make sure that for any new projects that are proceeding as we sit here, potential impacts to first nations lands and to northern Alberta are considered as those projects go forward and may be approved.
