I can only offer a few comments based on what I know about the new legislation, but I would note that responsibility for the new legislation lies with the Privy Council. Perhaps the Privy Council can provide a more detailed answer.
What I can say is that, certainly, before a project is designated under the new act, it will be necessary to consult the provinces, certainly including Quebec, and possibly the BAPE. I don't know exactly which process will be followed, but there will also be consultations with indigenous peoples. So I think it is necessary.
