Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 5 wordsthat is an interesting question.Procedure Reasoning · 77 wordsThe whole idea behind an environmental assessment is to ensure that the proponent in a project takes into equal consideration not only the impact that project will have on the environment immediately, but the long-term impacts it might have on the environment. My assumption is that those assessments are absolutely necessary. They should not be shortchanged. However, they can be done with more speed to them and without causing a significant impact on the environment, if any. Procedure · 23 wordsI cannot speak for the government. I will not speak for the government. I do not know how it assesses its environmental impacts, ProcedureReasoning · 22 wordsbut I am left to wonder whether they actually get done in a timely manner as well as they could or should.Partly on point
