We are. In fact, we've also communicated that to a number of the federal actors. We recently had a meeting with the president of CEA. We also met with the minister of NRCan and the deputy minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
When an environmental assessment provides the approval, we, for example, want that approval to mean something. In other words, that badge of honour must be credible. It does us no favours if that approval is granted and then it's second-guessed by a number of different organizations. We believe in a strong, credible, environmental assessment process.
We live in a democratic country, which means that people should be able to have a voice. We think, though, that we should do this in a smart way, and we very much respect having one project assessment on which the federal and provincial governments collaborate. It seems that the reset button on federal-provincial co-operation has been pressed.
We also don't believe we should throw out the baby with the bathwater. In other words, I think there are areas this government has signalled that it wishes to tweak. That is its right, but we believe that there is a good foundation. At the end of the day, when approval is given, I hope we find the political will and courage to build in this country, because nation building should never be allowed to sleep.
