Mr. Speaker, these committee hearings, as the member knows, are only the latest in a long line of consultations that this government has undertaken with first nations, labour, environmental groups, businesses, provinces and stakeholders from right across our country. In fact, we consulted so much, we had to double the amount of consultation time that we undertook over the summer.
This process has been defined by the listening and the consulting that we have been doing with Canadians, and we will continue to do that.
