Impact Assessment Agency asks for public input on new and improved Regional Assessment
Ottawa is going back to the drawing board to sketch out a new plan for the federal Regional Assessment process in the Ring of Fire.
In February 2020, then-federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson called for the Regional Assessment of the area of the James Bay where mining companies are exploring and want to develop mineral deposits. But the assessment process never started. After three years of information gathering, Wilkinson’s successor, Steven Guilbeault, never signed off on the terms of reference.
IACC said it will work with everyone, the Ontario government, Indigenous groups, federal authorities, environmental organizations and the general public “to determine the appropriate activities, outcomes and boundaries of the regional assessment.”
