I can answer that.
I would say that not all of the projects that will be eventually listed under the new Building Canada Act will necessarily be projects that are designated under the Impact Assessment Act. There's the potential that there will be projects listed that actually are not subject to the Impact Assessment Act.
Where projects that are designated under the Building Canada Act are subject to impact assessment, proponents for those projects will continue to be required to provide information and go through our process, and we will continue to be required to do an impact assessment. The difference is that, at the end of that, conditions will be recommended as a result of our process to the minister responsible for the Building Canada Act, and then those conditions will be part of a single authorization of conditions document that would be issued for the project, which would have otherwise perhaps been a separate Fisheries Act authorization or any other permits that might be required.
Impact assessment, if it would otherwise apply to a project that is designed under that act, will continue to apply, but it will be a streamlined process and a streamlined conditions document. We will continue to have a role in conducting impact assessments.
