There are the two phases in the process that we're thinking of here.
One is the assessment phase. Let's just say it's a CSR, for the sake of discussion here. In that right now, the process only considers the negative environmental impacts, or social impacts that are caused by changes in the physical environment. It does not consider positive environmental impacts, and does not consider, say, social impacts that are not related to direct environmental changes.
For instance, there are negative impacts on fish due to hydro projects. We try to mitigate those, we deal with those, but there's no consideration given to the positive side. So we're saying if you're going to focus in that assessment phase only on environment, at least consider both parts of it.
The second phase is that if a project is found to have significant impacts, then at the RA or the cabinet level a decision would be made as to whether or not the project should proceed or not given the overall benefits. At that stage, all the benefits should be considered: environmental, social, and economic.
