Thanks, Chair.
I'd like to come back to the topic today, which is actually regulatory reform.
Thank you all for coming and being here.
I'm hoping to get your insight as practitioners on the front lines: Ms. Briño, as a member of a trade association; Ms. Kuzenko, as a practitioner who is shepherding through applications; Mr. Amos, as a person who participates in EA processes and examines regulatory reform from the ground up; and Mr. Macdonald, as someone who has been through this process and is still in the midst of it.
I'm going to ask a couple of snapper questions first.
I'm going to turn to you, Mr. Amos. The government has been trying to justify a lot of the changes it brought to bear in the budget by whipping up a very unfortunate campaign, trying to level unfounded accusations against environmental groups in the country.
It's the worst kind of despicable targeting that I've seen in my 27 years of working in this field. Mr. Amos, is your group a radical group? Do you receive money, for example, from.... Are you laundering money? Is Ecojustice laundering money from the United States?
