摘要

With increasing environmental awareness and public participation in regulatory review processes, developing a major resource project in North America can be a daunting prospect for any project developer. Many projects already face complex environmental and regulatory issues, so stakeholder concerns can add an extra layer of complexity to permitting processes. Whether proponents are looking to develop mines, pipelines, port infrastructure or energy projects, the development of major projects can attract negative attention and act as a legal lightning rod not only in relation to the immediate project, but also as a forum for airing past grievances and other areas of disagreement with proponents or regulators. Environmental assessment and other permitting processes often seem to be less than adequate for resolving stakeholder conflicts, thus increasing the chances for negative media attention, project delays, and court action. As a result, federal and provincial governments are looking to bring greater certainty into regulatory approval processes. This session will consider proposed changes to the Canadian federal environmental assessment process (Bill C-69) and prospects for dispute resolution under the new regime, as well as provincial approaches to approving major projects and managing stakeholder conflicts. This session will also look at various case studies to identify the types of issues that stakeholders have raised within the context of major projects, as well as how the duty to consult Indigenous communities in Canada can impact regulatory processes. Finally, the session will consider strategies and best practices for reducing user conflicts and mitigating legal risk.
