This was called for by a good number of those who participated in the interviews for the expert panel, and also by those before us. It would simply add a statutory right to appeal of a ministerial or cabinet decision on designated projects. The appeal would be to the Federal Court and would be on questions of law and mixed questions of law and fact. It was specifically recommended by both the Canadian Environmental Law Association and by Professor Dr. Meinhard Doelle, who proposes that we have an additional tribunal, which we'll come to later.
This is normal for any type of assessment process like this, and it's kind of surprising that it's missing. It is normal in any provincial environmental assessment process that you would be able to seek a determination on a question of law or mixed question of law and fact.
