This book was released on 2000 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recommendations in this report are supported by all provinces (except Quebec) and territories with regard to changes to certain provisions & aspects of the implementation of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The recommendations are derived from case studies, historical concerns, a commissioned background paper, and the federal discussion paper on the review of the Act. The recommendations are presented regarding provincial & territorial concerns grouped under three major themes: jurisdiction (that the Act should recognize & respect more fully the constitutional role of provinces & territories in environmental assessment), application of the Act (including what can prompt a review under the Act and legislative flexibility), and procedure (related to timeliness, duplication of effort, co-ordination, dispute resolution, certainty, and predictability).
