One-third of the budget implementation act, your bill, is regarding environmental assessment, so we're looking at it here.
I'll try another one. Maybe you'll have an answer for this one.
It appears in the new legislation that reports undertaken for proponents will stop the clock on the timelines that will be set out to undertake environmental reviews, but it is less than clear whether first nations will ever interact with decision-makers under the act. This is because many decisions made under the budget implementation act are made by cabinet.
Do reports under proposed subsection 23(2) that are eligible for stopping the clock under proposed subsection 27(6) include studies undertaken for the purpose of consultation?
