We respond to private sector proponents. If a private sector proponent brought a project to take LNG to that region of Quebec, we would obviously chat with the affected province and understand its desire for that project. We would talk with affected first nations, and we would look at the five criteria in Bill C-5. We would evaluate it against them.
If the conclusion was that we had support from the province, we had support from first nations and, in going through the five criteria, which are strengthening Canada's economy, providing economic and other benefits, having a high likelihood of successful execution, advancing the interests of indigenous peoples and contributing to clean growth.... If we concluded there was a net benefit there, we could look at that.
I'm not sure it's terribly productive to think in hypotheticals. We really need to look at real projects that you can evaluate in a real way against the criteria.
