My understanding is that the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board has six environmental affairs group members as employees and that Nova Scotia has seven or eight, but only two work directly on environmental protection. That doesn't seem like a lot. These days, when we're looking at what's happening in the gulf, that is worrisome.
Let me ask you about what we've heard from others. We heard from Craig Stewart, a previous witness who is a World Wildlife Fund Arctic program director. He said that Greenland, Norway, and the U.S. all have regulatory processes governing both the leasing stage and the exploration stage, but ours only kicks in at the exploration stage.
Should that be different? The NEB stage only kicks in basically halfway through. Should there be, in your view, a different regulatory process, and what is the regulatory process for granting leases in the Arctic?
