Mr. Speaker, there are meetings and discussions that take place when the opportunity arises, whenever Minister Nault travels into the North, or at different times when I have the opportunity to be at different meetings or conferences that I attend in the south. We talk about a number of different issues. This has been a subject of discussion in the past, in regards to the length of this process. Over the last year or so, there was a lot of discussion about trying tostreamline this whole process, that it takes a lot of time before a proponent receives a final go-ahead or refusal. It's time consuming and it's costing a lot of dollars for companies. In some cases it's very frustrating. Yes, we relay the concerns to the Minister. Our approach here in this letter is to say that we've identified an area in the act where I think he has the authority to be more concise and clear with a timeframe to be put in place. Thank you.
