The federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change has agreed to the substitution of the provincial environmental assessment process for the federal process for a 17th project – the Cedar LNG Project. The use of one assessment for both levels of government will eliminate the duplication of having two assessments for a single project, while maintaining environmental protection and Indigenous consultation. The provincial environmental assessment will meet all federal and provincial requirements.
