It's a good question. Two years would obviously be ideal. I could see in some cases—for example, where there's a duty to consult and it wasn't possible to achieve all that consultation and accommodation within two years—that it's hard to legislate strict timelines. But certainly at least two years should be the goal. Proponents would like to see that. I can see legally, especially on the indigenous rights side, why it's maybe hard to mandate that. I have to remind everyone that a working group of cabinet members in 2024 already had some timelines that they put onto major projects. We haven't come close to achieving that.
Just saying that a timeline is going to be achieved isn't good enough anyways. I guess it's a great aspiration. Hopefully, we can get closer to it.
