I'll take this one.
We have a memorandum of understanding with the Province of British Columbia. It sets the framework and defines how we collaborate with the province. The agreement sets a framework for substitutions—essentially, how substitutions work. The provincial minister will make a request for the project to be substituted to the provincial process. Essentially, the provincial process will meet the needs of both the federal government and the provincial government. It is a single process to meet the needs of both governments.
My team in the region will work closely with the B.C. environmental agency office, and we will support them through that process. We will support indigenous consultation through that process. We also offer participant funding for that process. Essentially, the province manages that process, and we're there to support them. It leads to an efficient process. It's one process, one review. Once the province has completed its review, it will submit a report to provincial ministers—typically, there are two ministers in B.C. who will make the decision—and to the federal minister of the environment for their decision.
There's a good track record of substitutions. The vast majority of our projects are substituted to the province. There are two recent examples under the Impact Assessment Act. The Cedar LNG project was approved in about three and a half years. More recently, the Ksi Lisims LNG project was approved on September 15. That was just over four years.
