RE:This doesn’t look good...can someone make sense of this!! The questions asked by the Minister of Environment were answered a long time ago.
It would be helpful for you to read the the time line set out by the Minister.
You can access all of the time line schedule on line.
I have copied just a couple for your benefit.
The Minister of the Environment may refer a project to a review panel within 60 days of the notice of commencement of an environmental assessment.
The period that is taken by the proponent to respond to a request from the Agency or a review panel (conduct studies, prepare environmental impact statement, collect further information, etc.), is not counted in the timelines.
