Mr. Steve Burgess at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I can do that, and hopefully I don't go over time. It's not a simple question, unfortunately.

Essentially, very often what we have is a situation in which we have a major development proposal. Let's take a mine, for example, or a pipeline project. The federal decision with respect to that overall development relates to perhaps just a stream crossing for the pipeline rather than the whole project itself, or water intake with respect to the mine. There are situations where the federal environmental assessment will relate to those subcomponents of the overall project rather than to the entire development proposal.
