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.
