That's the fundamental point behind the package. We're consolidating responsibility for these reviews under the three main agencies. To this point, there have been more than 40 departments and agencies involved in environmental assessment. We're now putting it into the hands of the agencies that are best placed to do that. As a result, through the focus of our resources, we feel the reviews can be managed better and in a more timely way, but also more thoroughly. At the end of the day, we aim to do both by focusing on the significant adverse environmental effects of major resource projects that move forward through the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.
Also, there's a whole host of other environmental regulatory framework initiatives out there that will sort of cascade through the process as well. The idea here, though, is to target our resources through consolidation, do reviews in a more timely way, and also, at the end of the day, put safeguards in for environmental protection. The ministers mentioned the issue of a certificate, so we'll be looking at these projects through a life-cycle process.
To this point, a lot of the focus has been on the front end of the project. Now we'll be looking at beginning to end, to make sure these projects are developed in a sound and thorough way, protecting both the environmental and economic interests of the project.
