Support for LAND recommendations

To be brief, there are many, many negatively impactful activities that escape assessment according to the Physical Activities Regulations. There are many projects and potential projects that are not considered major, but should be (SMR's are just one example) because they can (and will) have major effects on their surrounding areas as well as areas downstream. The exemption for projects licensed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is particularly concerning because it allows industry (in our self-interested economy) to regulate itself regardless of the public's interest. Transparent oversight is necessary to ensure public safety and environmental stewardship. Therefore, I support the position of the Legal Advocates for Nature's Defense and request that you implement their recommendations in full. Thank you.
