I can say that what our government will do is not listen to a few interests, on any side of any one debate, but we will apply the law fully, thoroughly and rigorously, as it's intended to be. We will let our independent agencies, who operate under laws passed through this parliament, undertake the assessments of any applications for permits, changes in permits or otherwise, without any political interference but on the basis of the merits of those cases, including of course the thorough and proper environmental consideration that will be given to any such applications or requests.
