Abstract

Environmental regulatory approval is an important and necessary step in the development of oil and gas projects in the Newfoundland offshore. The approval process, however, should be as efficient and definitive as possible. This article sets out how the approval process under the Accord Implementation Acts and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act can be merged so that duplication and unnecessary delay are avoided.
