Canada-Saskatchewan Agreement on EA Cooperation Last modified: December 18, 2006
On November 30, 1999 the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan signed an agreement to improve federal-provincial cooperation in the environmental assessment of projects subject to both The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. This agreement establishes administrative processes to implement the Sub-agreement on Environmental Assessment, along with the Canada-Wide Accord on Environmental Harmonization signed in January 1998.

The 1999 agreement expired in November 2004 and Canada and Saskatchewan have prepared a renewed bilateral agreement to replace it.  A public notice inviting comments on the proposed renewed agreement was advertised and comments were considered in finalizing the agreement.
