Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The problem with this legislation is that you really don't know what it means until you actually have a project in front of you, and then at that point it's a bit of the eye of the beholder.
I understand that you wish to streamline the process. That makes some sense. I understand that you don't want each agency tripping over itself. That makes some sense. Nevertheless, there may be instances of projects that really call out for a very detailed assessment from a variety of standpoints.
The issue that's topical these days is drilling in the Beaufort Sea. Would this proposed legislation apply to drilling in the Beaufort Sea?
