Mr. Moffet, if I understand correctly, it would take too long to consult on assessments and the determination of whether to grant a waiver because G‑14.1 added the obligation to publish “as soon as possible in the circumstances”. That's what I took from your answer, but I have to tell you that I don't agree.
We discussed BQ‑12 earlier, and it was defeated. All the Senate's proposed amendments to the bill regarding public participation were defeated.
I imagine that this subamendment will be defeated as well, but the fact remains that new paragraph 114(1)(g.1) proposed in the bill prescribes specific aspects of consultation.
You talked about publishing as soon as possible. The process would be conducted as soon as possible while allowing everyone to participate.
I'll leave it there, Mr. Chair.
