Yes, we've been deeply engaged in that process from the very beginning, as it's really been our only opportunity to provide feedback on offshore wind and to ask questions.
There have also been some challenges within the regional assessment process due to the unique demographic of Newfoundland and Labrador, our coastal communities and these rural outport communities where people with concerns about offshore wind live. The virtual meetings and computer literacy needed have presented as very challenging for our membership. That's been a major concern.
The overall lack of trust and transparency that's been given by governments has hindered the collection process as well. We've been getting a lot of apprehension from our membership in terms of being more forthcoming with information, because they don't know how it's going to be used or what it's going to be used for. There's a clear lack of understanding of the intentions of the regional assessment and how it will be used because there's been no transparency. We've been very much left in the dark in this process, and I really think that it's doing the regional assessment and perhaps this legislation a disservice and a discredit, because it's really unfortunate how it has unfolded.
