What happens when both federal and provincial environmental assessments are required?
• When a project falls under both provincial and federal EA responsibility, there is an agreement in place which ensures that the two governments will carry out a single, cooperative EA while retaining their respective decision-making powers. This harmonized approach creates greater efficiency and effectiveness for both the private and public sectors. • Examples of projects that would likely be subject to harmonized reviews include major mining projects and hydro-electric projects.
