Abstract
WCS Canada submits comments to the Environmental Assessment Modernization Project Team of Ontario's Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. We recommend a complete overhaul of the proposed project list regulation in an expert-driven process based on four major concerns:
1) The project list is insufficiently inclusive of those most likely to have significant impacts;
2) There is no evidentiary basis for “thresholds” for inclusion on the project list;
3) The approach perpetuates lack of attention to cumulative effects in the EAA; and
4) There is no clear process that enables Ontarians to request designation of non-listed
projects that warrant a Comprehensive EA.
