Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The responsibility for the Department of Lands will be to coordinate the collection of all the different impacts associated with any given project, whether they are social impacts, economic impacts or environmental impacts. But it is pulling the information together to help the responsible Ministers make a decision, but Ministers will act in their own areas independently. The issuing of a land use permit would be of the purview of our Minister, to do the issuing of a water licence would be under the Minister responsible for Environment and Natural Resources, but we would help collect all of the information to help him make those decisions.
