Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, gentlemen.
These are, of course, very important issues. We're talking about diversity. We're talking about governance. Our role is to put up some recommendations for the future, and I think you are truly an asset to that future report.
Let me ask you first, Dr. Isaacs, a question. I want to talk about three issues. I'd like to talk about governance, I'd like to talk about perception, and I'd like to talk about partnership.
Regarding governance, it seems that there are some holes in the relationship between the federal government and the provincial government, whether it's a perception or not. Whatever the case, we have a role to play. There's a convention that has been signed between Alberta and the Government of Canada. How do you perceive our role? Do you feel that we should get more involved in the monitoring process, and is the environmental assessment sufficient? This is probably one of the key issues. Of course, I'm from Quebec, so by definition I'm respectful of jurisdictions.
I'd like to understand how we can be a counterbalance and be part of the solution for a better quality of life for our people.
