Abstract
WCS Canada responds to the invitation to comment on the amended environmental assessment of a new transmission line to Pickle Lake. Since we began to comment on the project in 2013, we have had concerns about the distinct lack of consideration for alternate routes, the criteria used for assessing potential impacts, and the assessment of cumulative effects. We are gravely concerned about not only this project in particular but also the EA process as it stands under Ontario’s environmental assessment program. The major issues are outlined herein and include; EA process, cumulative effects, caribou, and climate change.
