In my opinion, that is the biggest problem we are facing at the moment. In environmental matters, for example, the municipal government has a role to play and has its regulations. Provincial and territorial governments also have their regulations and their role. The federal government has a role to play, just like its department. It takes years to get agreement between those three, four or five levels of government. That is what is happening in the examples you quote of projects on the ground that have been around for a number of years.
