OTTAWA, Sept. 15, 2016 /CNW/ - Today, the Expert Panel tasked with reviewing environmental assessment processes announced a series of in-person engagement activities.
The Expert Panel will be travelling the country from September 19 to December 15, 2016, to hear the views of Indigenous Peoples, stakeholders and all Canadians on the federal environmental assessment process. Canadians can visit www.EAreview.ca to register to participate in workshops or to make presentations to the Panel.
