I think we've had this conversation a few times now with some of the amendments that have been proposed by the BQ. We agree, and I agree, with the intent, but ultimately we're going to be opposing this amendment. I say that because there are regional assessments for offshore wind being done right now in advance of future calls for bids.
The bill has amendments that allow and provide for offshore regulators to have the authority to conduct regional and strategic assessments, but they're not intended to be prescriptive. Really, when we're talking about this work and how we've discussed it with the provinces, the provinces would be unlikely to support such prescriptive measures.
I will be opposing this.
