Robert Carrier at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I will ask a short question that follows up on the one I already asked.

When the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is involved in a file, whether it comes from Fisheries and Oceans or from Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, who is ultimately responsible for issuing the environmental study permit?

You said that the agency only coordinates the work, but it is still responsible on behalf of the government. Or does some other department, such as Fisheries and Oceans, have that responsibility?
