The Agency appears to have under-stated or misunderstood the scope, nature and implications of the potential impacts of the Project on our community. It will take significant work by the Agency to re-write these documents to fulfil the Agency’s obligations under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (“CEAA 2012”) and the Crown’s obligations to consult and accommodate Marcel Colomb First Nation (“MCFN”) and to adequately ensure the protection of our constitutionally protected rights. ...

  • 6 Predicted Changes to the Environment 6.1 Atmospheric Environment The Agency summarized the Proponent’s assessment of changes to the atmospheric environment with input from federal authorities and Indigenous nations. This summary supports the analysis of effects on fish and fish habitat (Chapter 7.1), migratory birds (Chapter 7.2), species at risk (Chapter 7.3), Indigenous Peoples’ current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, physical and cultural heritage, and sites of significance (Chapter 7.4), Indigenous Peoples’ health and socio-economic conditions (Chapter 7.5), and federal lands (Chapter 7.6), included in this EA Report. The Agency is of the view that the Proponent adequately considered potential effects of the Project on the atmospheric environment and that the Proponent’s proposed mitigation measures, monitoring, and follow- up programs (Appendix D) are appropriate to address potential project effects to the atmospheric environment. ...

  • 6.4 The Proponent shall develop, prior to construction and in consultation with Indigenous groups, Health Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada and any other relevant authorities, a follow-up program to verify the accuracy of the environmental assessment as it pertains to adverse environmental effects of changes to the quality of air and country foods on the health of Indigenous Peoples, taking into account available traditional knowledge provided by Indigenous groups related to current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes. The Proponent shall implement the follow-up program during all phases of the Designated Project. As part of the implementation of the follow-up program, the Proponent shall: 6.4.1 identify, in consultation with Indigenous groups, the species of fish, vegetation and wildlife used as country foods and determine the locations where these species shall be monitored; 6.4.2 monitor, beginning prior to construction and ...

  • 7.5 Indigenous Peoples – Health and Socio- Economic Conditions The Project could cause residual adverse effects on the health and socio-economic conditions of Indigenous Peoples, including the physical health of individuals and communities and community well- being, through changes to the availability, quality, and access to country foods; access to resources and sites of traditional and cultural importance; surface water and groundwater quality; the atmospheric environment; and the availability and access to community services and infrastructure. The Agency is of the view that the Project is not likely to cause significant adverse effects on Indigenous Peoples’ health and socio-economic conditions after taking into account the proposed key mitigation measures. The Agency’s conclusions are based on an analysis of the Proponent’s assessment, including the Proponent’s proposed mitigation, monitoring, and follow-up measures, and the views expressed by federal ...
