No, no, both presidents and CEOs had called me and said they were surprised. I mean, to be fair, it was in a budget bill. I believe they were informed the day of, or the day before.
But I think the reason they phoned me to express their surprise was that this was part of their work, their daily work, to make sure that you evaluate those projects, essentially from bumper to bumper, to make sure they have a full idea of what the potential environmental risks are. With those changes, they were left asking, “What are we now supposed to do? What are we required to do legally?”
As a second question, because Environment Canada and DFO no longer have those requirements to look at those phases, they also expressed concern about whether or not the officials, the ones they've relied upon to do those assessments, would continue their expertise in those areas.
So there was a legal issue and a capacity issue.
