With regard to proposed section 81, I am adding to the definition of “project” because there is a third category. I'm finding, frankly, this whole section very convoluted, and I don't really understand why it's drafted the way it is. However, there is a third category: activities not on federal lands. A federal assessment can occur on projects on federal lands and also on projects on non-federal lands. Authorities have power on federal lands and also on non-federal lands. In other words, they could be aboriginal lands. They could be territorial lands. They could be provincial lands.
I am also proposing a new paragraph under proposed section 81:
(c) a physical activity that is carried out on lands other than federal lands, but that is regulated by a federal authority or wholly or partially financed by a federal authority.
