At a minimum, I think there needs to be consistency in having a federal role in the environmental assessment process. There's a harmonization agreement with Alberta that allows the two to go hand in hand through a regulatory review process in an efficient way, and that needs to happen. And it can't be limited only to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans; it has to also bring in Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, to look at the full scope.
