Do we have any more time?

[The Chair, Conservative, Daryl Kramp]

No, but go ahead for 10 seconds.

[Libby Davies, NDP, Vancouver East, BC]

I'll speak very briefly. These amendments try to outline a much clearer process so that the public knows what an application is really about and, importantly, applicants are aware of the public's comments and have an opportunity to respond to them. It's about ensuring a due and fair process.

[The Chair, Conservative, Daryl Kramp]

Thank you very much.

Is there further comment?

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We now have amendment NDP-19.
