We noted in the chapter on environmental evaluation that there were delays, but that they were due to poor coordination among the various federal departments. For instance, some delays were due to the fact that they do not agree on the type of assessments to be done and their outcomes. In that chapter, we cite a lot of examples of poor coordination, in particular between Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, Industry Canada and Natural Resources Canada. We stated that that was the main cause of the delays.
