I can't speak to specific comparisons of absolute timelines. Unfortunately, I just don't have that information.

I can tell you, as tabled in the legislation for the Nunavut project and planning act, that we have laid out proposed timelines to guide the timing for decisions, to move through that regulatory process, and environmental assessment is one part of that.

I can't do the math right now to add up what all of those pieces would accumulate to, to respond to your absolute comparison. But we could provide that information to you.
