Environment committee That is really a central question. My concern with just regulating or establishing a set list of projects, as Mr. Cassidy is suggesting, is that it's problematic because new things come along. If you have a set list, you might not catch some important things. I think there certainly has to be some discretion.

Environment committee There are two parts to the question. The first part relates to projects that are of federal interest that are not currently being assessed. Elaine Feldman gave an example last week. She talked about these in situ SAGD oil sands projects and how, if they are not having some effect on fish habitat, there will not be a federal assessment, whereas for oil sands, mines usually do destroy fish habitat, and hence there's a federal trigger.

Environment committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, members. My name is Stephen Hazell. By way of introducing myself, I should say that I'm a lawyer in private practice but I wear a number of hats, one of which is that I act as counsel with Ecojustice, a not-for-profit law firm. Today I'm speaking as an individual.
