B.C. to Conduct Environmental Assessment of the WesPac Tilbury Marine Jetty Project
The Canadian Minister of the Environment, the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, P.C., M.P., has approved British Columbia (B.C.)’s request for substitution to permit B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office to prepare the environmental assessment for the WesPac Tilbury Marine Jetty Project. Last week, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency had ruled that a federal environmental assessment, rather than a provincial environmental assessment, was required for the project.
