The appointment and timeline of the SEA committee was undoubtely decided on and controlled by the Charest government, unfortunately due to misinformation by the activists this became a hot political potato, therefore what better way to diffuse the issue, you both delay and control the timeline of the SEA decision to coinside with the timeline of the upcoming election, all the politicians do this, or at least try to.
IMHO the SEA will give the green light to this play, the scientific evidence can"t be denied
