Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, thank you for your testimony and for your work on this bill.
The opposition claims that the existing regulatory system is complex, costly, unpredictable and time-consuming and that merging the boards is essential for resolving these issues.
But if I understand correctly, merging these boards meant that the whole process landed in court, and natural resources development in the Northwest Territories became mired in legal uncertainty.
Minister, once we undo the amalgamation of the boards, can you explain how the companies will go from one super-board to four boards?
