Very much so. That's our experience.
I can speak to that from two recent examples. We engaged in significant community consultation in Ottawa for the former base, CFB Rockcliffe. Over 250 meetings were held before we submitted the plan to city council. These were town halls, workshops, and idea themes and fairs, as well as stakeholder meetings. We did the same sort of thing in Calgary with the former CFB Calgary, which is now a development called Currie. Both of those projects went to the city councils and were approved unanimously without objection.
There are ways you can go about it. You can spend the money and the time up front to do that engagement, and then your approval comes through very quickly because you have that support, or you can try to rush a project in and then face all kinds of obstacles that delay you along the way.
