Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to both witnesses for being here today.
I have a couple of questions, but I'm going to start with the federal-provincial cooperation that you talked about earlier, and how that works out in reality on the ground. I want to take an example from Quebec, for instance, where there is a hydroelectric development project being proposed. I know that Quebec has often taken the position in the past that a hydroelectric development is a provincial project and should be subject only to provincial assessment.
On the other hand, I know that any hydroelectric development has impacts on federal jurisdictions--navigable waters, migratory birds, fisheries, lands reserved for Indians, and so on. There are provincial jurisdictions that are affected by provincial projects.
How has CEAA assessed and dealt with these situations in the past? I know there have been harmonization agreements in the past, but, for instance, in northern Quebec, which you briefly mentioned, there is a treaty and there are environmental assessments and review processes that are applied for under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. How do we deal with those kinds of situations?
