GBA Comments on Changes Made to the Environmental Assessment Act
GBA has added their voice to comments submitted to the Ontario government on the proposed Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) project list spearheaded by the Canadian Environmental Law Association. This list inappropriately restricts the application of Comprehensive Environmental Assessments to a relatively small number of major infrastructure projects and, amongst other shortcomings, does not include any objective, persuasive, or evidence-based justification on why the selected projects are on this list in the first place. See the GBA submission here.
