Thank you very much for the departmental perspective. Again, I think it is important to understand that everybody is supporting getting these sites up and running and trying to find ways to make sure, while we have complete application processes, that they aren't unnecessarily burdensome.
When I looked at the administrative structures in place, the expression of community support, the impact of the site on crime rates, I saw there was an “if any” caveat around that one. I thought those would be relevant. If I put my old hat on as a hospital CEO, if I were applying for something, those look to be reasonable things that I would be submitting as part of an application for minister approval. The impact of the site on crime rates, I think, is a more difficult one for an applicant to assess, and the language as originally drafted is “if any”.
Coming back to supporting moving from “evidence” to “information”, supporting moving from “regulatory structures” to “administrative structures”, but otherwise keeping the original five together as envisioned in the act, makes more sense to me.
