In terms of answering the question, it may be helpful to separate the two different kinds of consultation.
The first kind the minister referred to are the criteria in the act that require letters from various organizations: police chief, provincial ministers, records of community consultations. There's absolutely no timeframe on that; they just have to be made available in order for the application to be considered complete and for the minister to be able to begin the review of the application.
The other kind of consultation is the minister having the authority—it's a discretionary authority—to notify the public that an application has been received and to seek the views of the public. For that type of consultation, it would be a 90-day period. That's set out in the legislation.
