The department undertook several consultations with all affected fleets, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and environmental groups. All views were provided to the minister and incorporated into the department's advice. So we had a very good overview of all the perspectives of industry, environmental groups, and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador when we were drafting the advice and analysis that would help the minister make an informed decision.
