If your question refers to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, there aren't any fines or enforcement provisions in that piece of legislation. What that legislation does is impose obligations on federal bodies to conduct an environmental assessment of the project they're considering making a decision on, and to identify mitigation measures and put those in place.
The point I was making is that the mitigation measures that are put in place following an environmental assessment can be put in place for a number of mechanisms. If it's a funding decision that's being made, then the funding agreement can include those mitigation measures. If it's a land transfer that's being considered, then the mitigation measures can be imposed there. There is the possibility, through various regulatory decisions, of having those mitigation measures put in place.
My point in the presentation was that strength and enforcement capabilities under the Navigable Waters Protection Act would be beneficial because of the flow-through nature of mitigation into these various other instruments.
