Thank you.
It would be me you should follow up with about the specific communities. We would welcome that. With regard to your point around service standards, it's definitely something that we've been describing. The challenge that persists in the ATR process is that the federal government has only so many levers. A lot of partners are involved in bringing an ATR to completion. Those include municipalities but also third party interest holders, such as a hydro company. You also have the issue of duty to consult. We need to go out and talk to other nations that may be implicated by the creation of that reserve.
All those things take a considerable amount of time in some cases and are only so much within our control. We are looking at processes to expedite these things but also to do a better project management approach. We have new software called NATS, the national additions to reserve tracking system, which will automate aspects of those processes and email a person, for example, if they haven't followed up in a certain amount of time.
We're hoping that as nations use that more and more and our regional colleagues use that more and more—we're pretty good with new ATRs, but with the older ATRs it's more of an issue—we'll see some of those hiccups go away. It's not an easy problem to solve. It's not a problem that a policy alone can solve. There's work we're doing with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and work we're going to need to look to do with provinces as well. We're going to have to take a very multipronged approach.
