It's not necessary other than going through the standard procedure of doing tendering and things like that. If it's an existing bridge or a culvert, there isn't a consultation period unless, I suppose, they're looking at altering waterways, the flow of water, and things like that. If it is kind of business as usual, there is not a consultation period that's needed. The exception would be, of course, with first nations. If it affected a first nations reserve, or it affected a waterway on a reserve or something like that, there would be a consultation done. The duty to consult would be a standard procedure.
It's not a standard procedure to have to consult. In a lot of cases, the water only runs for a few weeks during the spring runoff. It's not considered by us to be a navigable water. That's the issue, because before the regulations were changed, we were forced to go through all of the stringent regulations that were in place to have access for watercraft to go down the stream. These are simply streams that don't run very much during the year, so it's something that we see as a low priority.
