Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
As a northern Albertan who actually lives and works in and around the oil sands area and has neighbours and family members who also depend on it, I can tell you—as you know, Mr. Collyer—that northern Albertans care more about the environment than most people I know. But they also understand the tremendous strides that the industry has taken in the last several years in reducing its environmental footprint and how important that is to Albertans.
Now, we also understand that you need certainty when it comes to industry, and that the duplicitous regulatory framework of having to do several assessments on the same project can lead to significant setbacks. You've mentioned this, but can you affirm that this current process has delayed and in some cases cancelled projects?
