Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I got one question in last time. I didn't leave any time for me.
Anyway, thank you for being here. We've heard Mr. Koop, who has looked at what he believes is a deficiency in the cumulative effects with respect to the fracking processing. We had a professor from Cornell University yesterday who outlined the toxicity of not only the flowback, which comes as a result of the process of horizontal fracking or hydraulic fracking, but also 30% of the residue stays in the ground. He indicated he had a serious concern with respect to the water and water table implications and so on.
You have leaned heavily with respect to the rigours of the British Columbia environmental assessment process. Could you outline how that process relates to the cumulative effects? Because I take it that is where residents have a major degree of concern. It's not what they see now; it's what the overall long-term effects will be.
