Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank our witnesses.
This meeting is extremely important, today. We need answers. As my colleague was saying, we have to vote as parliamentarians on a piece of legislation. We need to have all the information we need to make amendments or not and to vote. Right now, the missing data that NGOs are most concerned about is how long it will take to get this permit.
We are not here to embarrass you or pressure you. That is absolutely not the case. We are here because we need to form an opinion and understand how we are going to have to work on this bill and what amendments we will have to make. As I said, the main concern for NGOs is how it's going to work administratively and how long it's going to take. So that's very important to us.
Can you tell us how long it will take for an organization to get the ultimate approval from the Department of Public Safety to be able to work on the ground?
