My personal experience in the Greenland example is that they had an office where you would put forward your exploration plan, and then they would take that plan to each different department and ministry that had regulations controlling exploration and development within their jurisdiction.
This office was responsible for coordinating all the different responses from the different ministries, and then it would come back to you and you would respond by making changes to your plans or would note that there is an acceptance of the plan.
I understand in Newfoundland.... I was speaking with a colleague the other day. I don't have first-hand experience, but he has been operating in Newfoundland. They are about to have a web-based program where you put forward your exploration plan through the Internet to the government, and then this plan goes to the various ministries—environment, fisheries and oceans, and so on—and they take it all the way through, and then it comes back with requested changes or acceptance.
There's only one place to go, rather than three or four different ministries.
