Book Description
"The purpose of this document is to clearly indicate to all Departments and Agencies that a nonlegislated environmental assessment process is required for all federal policy and program initiatives submitted for Cabinet consideration. The document sets out the scope of coverage and identifies special cases where such an environmental assessment may not be expected. The document details the responsibilities of all Ministers; the Minister of the Environment; the Department of the Environment; the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Office (FEARO) and its successor Agency; and the responsibilities of Department officials in implementing the new policy. The document provides the requirements for documentation, public statements, and public consultations"--Purpose, p. 2.
