Thank you.
The Beaufort regional environmental assessment actually covers the entire Beaufort Sea. From the beginning, there was a sort of common understanding from parties that there were certain issues that really didn't lend themselves very well to being assessed on a project-by-project basis. As you probably know, our environmental assessment regime in Canada is generally driven by specific applications or projects. There are some efficiencies to be gained and actually there is some value in looking at certain environmental indicators or environmental components on a more regional level. There was sort of an understanding of that by all of the partners. We all came to the table by trying to identify what those priorities were, which ultimately led to development of the work program that BREA ended up being.
This may sound a little bit abstract at this point, so I'll provide one specific example. We often hear discussion, and we heard some earlier about the pace of development and cumulative effects and how you exactly then measure on a scientific level how the environment is reacting to development. In the case of BREA, matters around the evaluation of cumulative effects are actually undertaken in the program. So we have a program set up that will intake information from specific projects and then have it assessed more on a regional level.
