Fine.
However, I am sure you know that many experts say that the deadlines are much too short to allow for exhaustive assessments in relation to large projects. You mentioned aboriginal consultations; you said that there would be a sufficient number of them. However, section 83 of the act to implement certain provisions of the budget proposes the addition of new clause 55 to the National Energy Board Act. This clause requires that any request for leave to appeal a decision to issue a pipeline certificate be filed in the 15 days following its publication in the Gazette. However, there is no provision stating that the parties concerned, which would include aboriginal populations, be advised of this publication in the Gazette. And so it would be difficult for the groups who would have 15 days to discover the order published in the Gazette by chance, to analyze, interpret it and challenge it.
Do you think that there will be more legal action challenging the projects, since there is a lack of transparency, and a lack of information for the population, including aboriginals?
