Mr. Chairman and honourable members, I'm delighted to respond to that.
My training as an environmental scientist allows me to bring to the table the discipline and objectivity that's required to look at technical matters and make decisions. My regulatory enforcement experience has given me a broad range of experience in dealing with due diligence matters and matters that have been brought before the courts. Last, my experience with corporate and regulatory boards has allowed me to experience the kind of discipline and balance that's required, I think, at the National Energy Board to assess information brought before us as a panel, to make decisions based on the evidence, and to communicate decisions made in the broader public interest.
I think those three corners of my background contribute not only to answering your question, but also to the strengths of the National Energy Board.
Thank you.
