Anything that can be done to increase clarity would really build public confidence in the process. I come at this not only from the agriculture perspective, but in a previous life I was a municipal counsellor. Trying to get your hands on what an EA process was going to be, what the regulations were going to be, and what the definitions were going to be was a moving target all the time. Anything that can be done to bring clarity and certainty to that and establish timelines will build public confidence.
