June 23, 2026 — Ottawa, Ontario – The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is conducting a federal impact assessment of the proposed Sorel-Tracy Port Terminal Project, a new port terminal located in the industrial-port zone of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec.

IAAC invites you to comment on the:

• Draft Impact Assessment Report, which includes IAAC's conclusions and recommendations regarding the adverse effects within federal jurisdiction along with the recommended mitigation measures and follow-up programs to mitigate and monitor these effects;
• Potential conditions. Final conditions would become legally binding for the proponent if the Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature includes them in the decision statement.
