Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
Ms. Gale, in your opening remarks, you mentioned a changing landscape, and you said that more than 500 impact benefit agreements had been signed. Many more have endured environmental damage with little to no lasting benefits. As we've heard from all of you, engaging at the ground floor and supporting capacity to assess projects are a huge part of it, but I suspect there's also more.
It doesn't need to be specific projects, but I'm wondering, to help fill out the picture for the committee, if you can give characteristics of good agreements that provide the kind of long-term benefit you've discussed and characteristics of bad agreements that provide little to no lasting benefit.
