Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for coming.
I'll begin with Mr. McGuinty.
We know that the new act renews key triggers for federal EA. No longer will federal money cause an EA. There will be fewer environmental assessments and they'll be narrower in scope.
According to the environment minister:
The new environmental assessment process is no different from the old environmental assessment process, except for the improvements that all three of us here today have listed for you.
He's referring to the ministers.
I wonder if you can comment on his statement, please.
