The short answer is no. If I understand the legislation, we report to Parliament through the Minister of Natural Resources.
I must tell you that my observation in the five months I've been there is that the commission is staffed with commissioners who are very independent-minded. They are non-bureaucrats. Some of them are retired; some of them have other jobs, day jobs. They consider all applications in front of them very seriously and in great detail.
I've yet to see any way, even if I wanted to, that I or anybody else could influence the collective decision. So far I have not seen any concern from any intervention from ministers.
