The application is structured. There are guidelines as to how the application would be structured. The application is made to the National Energy Board. All of the elements that relate to the environment would be dealt with by CEAA and the provisions that exist within it. Then all of the engineering aspects, all of the operational aspects, some of the physical aspects of environmental considerations are brought before the board.
We consult broadly through a very open hearing process to hear the views of all Canadians, both the proponent and those who would not be supportive of the project for whatever reason, and then eventually come to a determination—having heard all of those views and considered the risk, the environmental issues, legal issues, economic issues—as to whether permitting that project is deemed to be in the best interests of Canadians.
That permit then goes to government, and it has the final say on actually endorsing that recommendation from the board.
