Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to follow up a little bit on the topic of regulatory reform. I don't know if anyone has had an opportunity this morning to talk about what improvements you might make. When MP Greg Rickford and I had a chance to travel across northern Ontario and northern B.C., we heard consistently that we need to do a better job in terms of regulatory reform.
One lady told us that when it comes to the EA process, they have a stack of documents this high that they need to deal with, and when it comes to the duty to consult, they have a much smaller stack. She thought perhaps we could find a better balance. I'm interested in your suggestions this morning as to how we might improve the regulatory structure and system. We've talked about that aspect at committee here, and I'm sure there will be some recommendations in our report.
Please go ahead.
