Members of the RCEN's Environmental Planning and Assessment (EPA) Caucus are concerned that these new regulatory changes will severely compromise the goals and practices of sustainable development in Canada. In fact, federal environmental assessment provides critical information, and sometimes the only assessment review, on project proposals across the country.

In order to inform the public debate about this issue, members of the EPA Caucus are encouraging concerned citizens and groups to consult and share several information documents (linked below), and to express their concerns by sending a letter to the Minister of the Environment.
