Environmental Assessment Act

Section 5 - It is unclear at this time how this will impact the City. This could be a housekeeping modification, or further regulations could provide more contexts for this modification.

Section 6, Part 4 - It is unclear at this time how this will impact the City. We would like clarification on the implication of restricting orders in this manner.

Section 6, Parts 6 & 7 - It is our hope that this improves timelines on responses to Part II orders. Effectively creating a screening process for Order requests will mitigate the volume issues the Ministry is experiencing.

Section 6, Part 8 - It is our hope that this will alleviate what is perceived as a staffing issue at the Ministry. Staff support this decision and are optimistic that this modification to the EAA will benefit the City.
