The NEB would conduct a public hearing that integrates environment, economy, and social issues the way it always does. We call that the public interest assessment. It's fact based. It's fully transparent, like a court of record. It's based on an advanced, very clear statement of what the filing requirements are.
The NEB would collect its evidence. It would have an oral hearing, with participant funding. It would produce a recommendation report and give that to the Governor in Council for the Governor in Council to direct the NEB to issue a certificate, to dismiss the application, or to reconsider the report.
