Evidence of meeting #112 for Environment and Sustainable Development in the 42nd Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was agency.
A recording is available from Parliament.

That's correct. That's where you find section 29, which reads in part, “The Agency may delegate to any person, body or jurisdiction”.

Basically yes, and on to page 24. Section 29 is currently nullified. That section would “cease to apply to a designated project if the impact assessment of the project is referred by the Minister to a review panel.” The Canadian Environmental Law Association's advice is to leave section 29 in. You still have the opportunity to consider a delegation.

Those are already deleted. Well, they're not deleted; they don't apply when there's a reference to review panel.

This is advice from the Canadian Environmental Law Association, and I thought it was good advice, so I prepared an amendment.

We're on line 6 at page 22. We're moving forward here. Line 6 has to do with public participation.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
Yes. This isn't drafted right.
Okay, so what's your amendment? You have “replacing line 6 on page 22”, which says “to collect that information”.
