Thank you for the opportunity.
Firstly, it's very important to say that environmental protection needs to be foremost in people's minds. We're not looking at any mechanism that might shirk any responsibility with respect to the environment or cause environmental harm. What we're looking for are processes that are efficient and that are timely, and we don't think the two are mutually exclusive.
Concerning the assessment process, you have both a provincial assessment and a federal assessment going on, not necessarily at the same time. You also have multiple federal departments that aren't communicating with each other. We'd certainly like to see improvements in the communication ability, and we'd like to see one project and one assessment.
The Major Projects Management Office, which was constructed three years ago, I believe, has potential. Unfortunately, we haven't seen a lot of benefit to it in Saskatchewan yet. We don't see a lot of teeth, if you will, in MPMO, but it might be one way to improve the coordination and the timeliness without any sacrifice of environmental protection quality.
