Ms. Crockatt, I really appreciate that question, because it speaks to something I'm very passionate about and something I had responsibility for at the board. Prior to taking this role, I was accountable for much of our outreach on application-specific issues.
I think it's really important to note, as Madam Touchette mentioned, that this is a technical review. That can seem a little bit daunting, so we strive really hard to get out to the communities that may be impacted by a project and to explain our processes. We do a number of information sessions after a proponent has provided the project description, so we get out and explain how our process works and how to participate in our projects. We provide process advisers, staff at the NEB who answer questions from the public on the process and on how to participate.
I must stress that of course aboriginal engagement is a key component of the work we do as well. We have an enhanced aboriginal engagement program that proactively seeks out aboriginal groups who may potentially be affected by a project in order to make sure they are aware that the project is going through their area. We have a participant funding program that provides funding to assist people to meaningfully participate in projects that we review. These activities are of course in addition to the broader outreach activities that Madam Touchette just mentioned.
