As an example, a mining operation in Saskatchewan was looking to replace an acid-generating plant with one that produced one-tenth of the emissions, a state-of-the-art plant. It got dragged into a CEA trigger because on an already disturbed site, it was going to disturb more than 100 square metres. It ended up in a significant environmental assessment process through its responsible authority, and the province ruled that it could simply go ahead under the normal licensing and permitting conditions.
There was a year's delay. They had a deteriorating plant. It delayed any environmental improvements in operation simply to go through a process, even though the regulator basically said that the devil--CEAA--made them do it. A lot of resources were involved in that and really delayed improvements to the environment.
