Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
When we had the Nunavut government in front of us, they characterized these differences between NTI and the Nunavut government as wording issues. Looking back over these recommendations that you've made to us, I was taken by recommendation 3, on clause 141 and related provisions, dealing with significant modifications.
What you're attempting to do here is more than simply a wording change. It's a very important distinction of how you come to understand the nature of an assessment. I sat on an environmental assessment board for years. The idea that the proponent does not have to forward the sufficient modifications to the commission seems to me to be an error in the legislation.
Perhaps you could comment some more on that. I don't view that as simply a wording issue. I see it as a very fundamental issue about how you conduct environmental assessments.
