I absolutely agree. I think you need to ask DFO to come. They are in the process of modernizing their habitat management plan; that process is under way. The question is how that modernization plan would address another proposal like this.
Frankly, legally, I don't know what can be done about this project. It's not in your hands. But I think to try to prevent this from occurring again, when DFO comes before you to talk about its plan, think about Belledune, and about how this new plan would really change anything. What would really change under the risk assessment method they're proposing?
