Mr. Chair, because there are overlapping provisions in the Nuclear Safety and Control Act and the Impact Assessment Act, we've worked with the Nuclear Safety Commission to establish a memorandum of understanding on how we would conduct an assessment that would meet both the requirements of an Impact Assessment Act and the requirements under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.
We would have an independent review panel appointed. The panel's function would also cover both the Nuclear Safety Control Act and the Impact Assessment Act. At the end of the day, that panel would produce a report for the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to make a decision on it. At the same time, that would also allow the Nuclear Safety Commission to use that same report to consider its licencing decisions.
