I thank Mr. O'Connor for coming before the committee today. When people like Mr. O'Connor get a great deal of flak, it is sometimes because the Government has not been doing what it should be doing. Is he aware of any jurisdiction that has a land and landscape planning and management policy which guides the development of infrastructure like pylons, wind turbines, pipelines for bringing ashore offshore gas and hydraulic fracturing facilities, etc.? Is he aware of any jurisdiction that uses landscape planning and management systems to make an input as infrastructural developments are taking place?
