Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of the witnesses for being with us. I think they have all, in their presentations, addressed the fact that there were new challenges and problems that are amplified in the climate emergency we find ourselves in. I think all the witnesses agreed on that.
I have six minutes, Mr. Lillo, so if you are not able to complete all your answers, you can always send notes to the clerk, who will send them on to us.

As you understand things, could too high a degree of administrative centralization have a negative effect on the water management and environmental protection policies that have already been put in place by other orders of government?
