I would add one last comment. The minister himself is a part of the problem, with the length of time it takes for the minister to sign an environmental assessment certificate. Generally speaking, we find the minster almost goes through a review process all over again. It's an average of 348 days that it's taking for the minister to sign. He basically has a recommendation from the environmental assessment review board, so he should be following that and signing.
