The new federal Impact Assessment Act (IAA) which came into force on August 28, 2019, represents a fundamental shift in federal environmental assessment in Canada. The move from environmental assessment to impact assessment has resulted in a need for guidance on how the new legislation differs from the old and the ramifications of those differences. That's what A Guide to Canada's Impact Assessment Act, 2023 Edition aims to provide.

Practical and Informative

Written by expert environmental lawyer, Rodney Northey, A Guide to Canada's Impact Assessment Act, 2023 Edition offers valuable insight into the new Act as well as a detailed review of each of the processes that now govern impact assessment. In particular, practitioners of impact assessment and environmental, resources and infrastructure law will benefit from:

  • The overview of the IAA, including the most relevant features
  • Discussion of the principal factors for assessments and decision-making
  • Comprehensive discussion and analysis of the steps in the assessment process
  • The full text of the IAA and the accompanying regulations
  • The full text of the IAA's predecessor statute, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012

    What's New in the 2023 Edition

  • A brand new section on the triggering of impact assessment
  • Expanded and thorough discussion of the steps in the assessment process
  • A brand new section on other IAA regulatory processes, including regional assessments and strategic assessments

    As the first legal reference on the new legislation, A Guide to Canada's Impact Assessment Act, 2023 Edition will prove indispensable to:

  • Environmental consultants who are responsible for assessing the significance of environmental effects under IAA and numerous environmental regimes across Canada
  • Environmental, energy, aboriginal law, and natural resources lawyers in public and private practice who advise clients on IAA issues and the significance of effects in numerous legal contexts
  • Management and in-house counsel in the energy, mining and natural resources sectors who seek to comply with IAA and design projects to avoid or minimize significant environmental effects
  • Regulatory personnel who administer IAA and other federal, provincial, territorial and self-government regimes that focus on the significance of environmental effects
  • Teachers and advanced environmental studies students interested in environmental assessment inside and outside Canada
