Thank you, Chair.
Pretty much every federal environmental law gets challenged constitutionally. You can't avoid that. Every one in the last 30 years has been upheld except for this one.
Yes, I'm a big believer in co-operative federalism. We should try to collaborate with provincial and indigenous governments on environmental assessment as much as possible. International air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are a big gap the provinces and territories can't address. We should do that consultation as soon as possible, because it's a gap until it gets fixed.
