We were very pleased and honoured, actually, Mr. Chair, to find five such distinguished Canadians with relevant experience on what it takes to advise government on regulatory reform. The assignment is exciting. We really said, “Here's a blank sheet of paper. What we want you to do is write on this blank sheet of paper a world-class regulator from a Canadian perspective.” We asked them to consult and come back to us with a set of ideas by the end of March 2017, which will coincide with the work done by an expert panel that was created by Minister McKenna on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.
Two parliamentary committees of our colleagues will be looking at recommendations on the navigable waters act and the Fisheries Act. Those four sets of consultations will come back to the government at the same time, at the end of March in 2017, which the government will then use to introduce to Parliament and to the citizens of Canada a permanent reform of the environmental assessment process in our country.
