Manitoba Eco-Network Comments on the Order Designating Certain Excluded Classes of Projects

The Manitoba Eco-Network provides feedback on the Order Designating Certain Excluded Classes of Projects that will repeal and replace the existing Ministerial Exclusion Order which identifies the types of projects the Minister of Environment and Climate Change has determined will cause only “insignificant adverse environment effects”, and therefore are exempt from the federal impact assessment requirements under s. 82 and s. 83 of the Impact Assessment Act. The new Order would increase the number of projects that are excluded from federal impact assessment requirements by adding additional classes of projects and making changes to existing classes of excluded projects.
