Mr. Speaker, it is actually outlined quite clearly under the heading “Application”, proposed paragraph 56.1(2)(e), “expressions of community support or opposition.” The reason it is included in there is it is one of the five key criteria that was outlined by the Supreme Court in its decision. It is a key component of what we are proposing here. We are very proud that we are including it, because we understand the importance of ensuring that communities provide their support and have a chance to voice their opposition or support of any one of these sites.
