Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question will be to the National Energy Board.
In some of our notes here from the Library of Parliament, they've noted that Enbridge applied in 2008 for the reversal of crude oil flow within a segment of Line 9 from Sarnia to the North Westover Station. You've just now basically started having hearings on that. That, to me, is a bit of an illustration, which I need explained to me, of why regulatory changes take so long.
Could you very briefly explain why things take the time they do? You were talking with Mr. McGuinty about how to speed it up. Quickly use this as an illustration of why it's taking this long, and tell us maybe what we could do better for you.
