Well they chose their words carefully:
“the purpose of the panel is to assure that the basic assumptions underpinning the planning and financial studies of the project are reasonable and sound. ”
Note the use of “assure” not “ensure”. There goal is to “assure” people about the basic assumptions, not to “ensure” that they are correct.
Note the discussion of synonyms here:

Are these meetings open to the public?
