Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Girard, we want projects. If we didn't want them, we wouldn't be asking questions. However, this time, we need to tackle the real issues. We talk about roads and railways, but if we don't talk about regulations, bureaucracy, delays and costs, it will be difficult to implement these projects. Everyone tells us that the permitting process is endless. In fact, it takes between 15 and 20 years. You said that the last project dates back 40 years. We need to seize each development project at the right time. If investors are never able to seize these opportunities because the process is too long, they'll get discouraged and we'll get nowhere.
I'd like to hear your comments on this.
