I know, and this is the problem.
You saw a large approval process that identified certain critical areas and general approaches. There was then a series of steps that started probably around 1998 and identified areas that were of more concern for fish reasons, and there was some consultation around that. There were areas where they would have liked to see gravel taken up, and there was less consultation about that.
With respect to Big Bar, essentially the province came—and I was involved in those talks, as were Lincoln and the chief—and it said these were the projects it was doing this year. DFO came and said it was doing a CEAA assessment and wanted to hear about Big Bar, and then there was some back-and-forth with the province.
That back-and-forth was not about whether it was going to happen or not. The province's view was that unless DFO blocked it, it was going to happen. However, there were issues about whether there were economic opportunities for Cheam, whether there could be Cheam work involved in it. There was a list of issues like that, but it was more of the nature that it was going to happen and what you had to say about it in terms of potentially getting involved.
One of the issues this year that DFO and the province have both actually said they will try to fix is that it came in very quickly. It came in in a matter of a couple of weeks, really, or maybe more like a couple of months.
