Well, we're not going to get it through CEAA 2012. I mean, we know that in this bill there are a number of very profound changes from the previous bill—for example, just in the definition of what an environmental effect is.
For projects such as a mine.... Let's take a base metal mine in British Columbia that's subject mainly to provincial regulation and not so much to federal regulations, other than the Fisheries Act and some other federal provisions. If you look at that, what would a federal environmental assessment involve with respect to that base metal mine?
The assessment would be restricted to the comity of the environmental effects section in the bill, which is limited to studying impacts on fish, impacts on migratory birds, and other components of the environment to be specified in schedule 2. And guess what? There's nothing in schedule 2. There's nothing there at all. So it would be a very, very narrow environmental assessment if it were just the federal assessment of that mythical base metal mine in British Columbia.
That's just one example, but they've also taken out another set of factors in the current bill—for example, the need for the project and the alternatives to the project. They have been taken out. Those are extremely important parts of many environmental assessment laws in this country, and perhaps especially in the province of Ontario.
So there are a number of ways in which the assessments under CEAA 2012 will be very much weaker and more fragmented than is the case currently. Now—
