That's great. Given the time, thank you very much for clarifying that. That's great to hear.

The second thing I want to ask about is indigenous consultation, and you mentioned that the major difference between having the review done by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the previous legislation under CEAA 2012 was the participation of indigenous communities.

I understand that you're grandfathered to a certain extent, but given the emphasis on truth and reconciliation, especially call to action 92, and given that we're signatories of UNDRIP, do you think that it would help relations with indigenous communities if you did proceed under the IAAC rather than the old legislation?
