The federal government has introduced new legislation to amend the Impact Assessment Act (IAA), responding directly to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that found the original law largely unconstitutional. The proposed changes aim to narrow the scope of federal environmental reviews, focusing more explicitly on areas of federal jurisdiction to avoid intruding on provincial powers. Tabled by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, the bill seeks to provide greater clarity for major resource projects, but it is already facing scrutiny from provinces, industry, and environmental groups over where the new lines are drawn.
