What I have proposed by developing this pipeline.... There's progression here. Developing the timeline for securing our fiscal capacity to finance defence is step one. Putting together the schedule to generate government revenue is step two. Transmitting it to the Major Projects Office....
Right now, the Major Projects Office is still forming and norming. With the directives to the Major Projects Office to achieve certain targets for timelines and for execution, and there are a number of measures.... As I said, these things are not unknown in the assessment and permitting universe, from the equivalency to getting rid of stop-go timelines.
We have timelines for project assessment, but then we have stop-go on the clock. That's what we've developed around this. It effectively adds to your timelines.
It's about making sure that the scope of project assessment is focused on the project itself and the features critical to achieving environmental protection and socio-economic objectives. Focus on those things and the principle of using the best available knowledge to complete an assessment and regulatory process, as opposed to engaging in multi-year research programs.
Those kinds of things will allow us to more effectively meet expedited timelines for meeting the resource management and regulatory requirements.
