Hi Jane,
It is unfortunate about the timeline and we appreciate all efforts to accomodate the 3-month timeline. It appears that the mail was not received till January, possible because our office closes for 2 weeks over Christmas.

Regardless, we will try our best to speed up the process, although we are restricted by our own deadline for comments of Feb 20th and the receipt of NIRB's screening report.

The only other option is to request an interim approval until NIRB's screening has been received.  I'm not sure if this will be necessary. My recommendation would be to wait till at least mid February, or nearer to the deadline date of the 20th, so we at least have all comments in place, and then get back to me about what might be required to get interim approval in case. At that time, NIRB and us might have a better idea about timing based on comments received and even without an interim approval, we might be able to get the permit to you by the middle of March.
Regards,

Rita Becker
