Madam Chair, let me again ask staff, would this not have happened in the past and would it not happen in the future in any event?
One of the complications, I suppose, is that the new environmental process in Bill C-69 may be setting up some new regimes that I can't say I'm aware of. I guess the question is, will there be other agencies of government that would be able to unilaterally take the actions contemplated here, or in fact, is it pretty much standard fare that they would in any event, regardless of their authorities, consult with the minister?
