Discussion paper on the review of the Physical Activities Regulations
Consultation has concluded
The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada is seeking feedback on a discussion paper on the five-year review of the Physical Activities Regulations (also known as the Project List).

- projects with the greatest potential for adverse environmental effects in federal jurisdiction
- adding value beyond what federal regulatory oversight and provincial processes already cover
