First I would say that there have been improvements with the public registry of documentation with the agency's organization of information. Unfortunately, there's no way that a lot of the documentation can be made public. Apparently, this is due to the interpretation of the Official Languages Act: that material that is presented in one language can't be made public in that language until it's translated. That's the explanation the agency has given us over the years.
There are concrete obstacles, and I think part of the difficulty is one of confidence and the inconsistent implementation of this process. The Prosperity Mine is another example of where a panel reported a year ago, and a new panel has been invoked by the agency for essentially the same proposal, based on a request from the proponent. This makes the public and the community groups ask why they should bother and why they should go back to this if the process is going to be that inconsistent, or if similar projects are going to undergo, in one case a comprehensive study and a provincial review, in other cases only a provincial review, and in other cases no provincial review but a federal review. It's a dog's breakfast.
