Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for coming. Mr. Dupont, thank you for being here today.
I want to focus my questions specifically on the regulatory reform aspect of things. As you're aware, we've been doing a study on resource development in the north over the past little while. We have heard, and in your comments you indicate, that there are thousands of projects every year that the Environmental Assessment Agency says have virtually no impact on the environment. We've also heard from a number of witnesses in committee who talked about regulatory overlap and had concerns about the inefficiencies in the regulatory process. You've been making some statements over the past little while.
Could you comment in terms of what changes you believe need to be in the system in order to create that regulatory environment you've spoken about, which is competitive and attracts investment?
