The so-called “EA modernization” initiative being proposed to alter the Environmental Assessment Act may have fit the notion of modernization in the past where notions of economic efficiency reigned supreme, but now a true modernization initiative should make ecology paramount.
Any "streamlining" that accelerates further environmental degradation and climate breakdown is not in our long term interests as biosphere-dependent species.

A fulsome comprehensive EA will better accommodate a diversity of life-sustaining interests. Why go backwards with a Streamlined EA process ?

To the extent the Registry notice offers no ecologically-based rationale to recommend its revisions, nor evidence from others who have "streamlined" would suggest this is not modernization.
