Event Details

In February 2018, the Government of Canada introduced two Bills:

“An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act, and to make consequential amendments to the other Acts ” (Bill C-69), and
“An Act to Amend the Fisheries Act and other Acts in consequence” (Bill C-68).

The Bills are currently in the Senate. For additional background information on the proposed legislation visit www.canada.ca/environmentalreviews.

INFORMATION SESSIONS

To help support your review of the Bills, you are invited to attend one of the information sessions for Indigenous peoples. The information sessions will be delivered by teleconference with simultaneous webcast of the presentation materials. There will be one session in English and one in French; each including opportunities to ask questions.

Representatives from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Transport Canada (TC), and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) will each give a brief presentation and status update on their policy and regulatory work related to the Bills, including upcoming engagement opportunities.

The Interdepartmental Task Team on Environmental and Regulatory Reviews will moderate the call and give an overview presentation, which includes information on amendments to the Bills in the House of Commons.
