First, I just want to make a comment. The Environmental Assessment Act was not suspended. Let me just park that, because you didn't ask that, but with that comment I had to clarify.
First of all, I think for the sample size, yes, it looks like a big number. The Auditor General pointed to the fact that in the application form we asked if a project was near a federal environmentally sensitive area. What we didn't ask was if it was near a provincially designated or a municipally designated environmentally sensitive area. That is what they were pointing to.
So when we did the assessment—and our colleague who did the assessment is in this room—they basically had to look at the location of the project and whether it was 250 metres away from a park or an environmentally sensitive location. This is easily determinable in terms of where the location is, so when we confirmed that, all that sample came out that no, they did not need an environmental assessment, and our colleagues from the Auditor General's office found our analysis and our reaction to that to be satisfactory.
That being said--
