Environmental Assessment
On June 6, 2006, the Minister of the Environment announced proposed improvements
to the environmental assessment process. The ministry will
consult with EA practitioners, environmental and community
groups, and the public before finalizing the changes.
The improvements will protect the environment, be more efficient,
provide clear rules to practitioners, and save proponents
time and money. Sector-specific improvements will also be
made to support transit, energy and waste projects moving
through the EA process.
