To my colleague Mr. Barsalou-Duval's question, my understanding is that it's the total hours of testimony, not person hours, but it's a good point.
On the length of the study, I think we could spend 20 meetings talking about this topic. It's fairly technical. There are a lot of different stakeholders—certainly municipalities and first nations. People can speak to the environmental impacts. The fire departments are very involved in emergency response too.
The 12 hours or six meetings were in keeping with the approximate length of the studies that we've been conducting as a committee. Perhaps I can ask the clerk for a reference point on the length of studies. I don't want to be greedy and dominate the committee's time, but it is a very important topic and I'd like to see us do a thorough job.
