That's certainly a perception, sir, but I would characterize that as a misperception. And to the extent that there is overlapping jurisdiction on a project that would require both federal and provincial EA, there are already built-in provisions in CEAA and provincial law to accommodate coordinated EA review. So it's a complete red herring and a myth to suggest there are all kinds of costly overlaps or duplication.
