In a new opinion piece for The Energy Mix, Stephen Hazell raises concerns about Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s new major infrastructure project bills.

In a recent open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Nature Canada has provided their recommendations on the Liberal Party’s campaign commitments on impact assessments of major projects and how to ensure an ‘One Project, One Review’ approach is consistent with Canada’s nature and climate commitments.

The City of Ottawa needs a better plan to manage riverine and overland flooding says local climate research group Citizen Climate Counsel (C3).

Wasting public funds on a west-to-east oil pipeline carrying a product with diminishing global demand makes no sense for the Canadian economy or climate, argue Stephen Hazell and Cheryl Witoski. Instead, Canadians and their governments should invest in home energy efficiency and renewable energy as an answer to Trump.

Stephen Hazell (Ecovision) and Peter Duck (Bow Valley Naturalists) argue that too many development projects in National Parks are not being properly assessed for their environmental impacts — despite the requirement that the Environment Minister prioritize ecological integrity in Park management. They argue that the Impact Assessment Agency should ensure that high-quality impact assessments that include public consultation and Indigenous engagement be carried out for National Parks.

The Canadian Environmental Network has called on the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada to require assessment of all major development projects that fall within federal authority, in a recently released report.
