We see it very favourably. Last year, some of my colleagues wrote a very long research paper on how we could fix the issues with Bill C-69. One of the ways was to respect the provincial assessment processes and see them as sufficient. As a Quebecker, I'd say that comes as strong respect for the importance of provincial autonomy in those decisions.
The fact that the provincial assessments are good enough removes obligations and significantly reduces the cost of going through these processes. If the cost is reduced but the benefit is the same, it helps steer investment our way. It makes the business case that much more appealing and reduces uncertainty as well, as you don't have to file two different reports with a couple of different commas here and there in both and wait for the approval of two different entities.
