RE:RE:RE:Good NewsOn Dec 2nd the EAO said they will NOW PROVIDE the referral materials to the ministers ... does "NOW PROVIDE" mean the 45 starts Dec 2nd?
On December 2, 2021, the Ministers decided to rescind the Further Assessment Order.
================
The materials related to this decision will be posted to the EAO’s website here: https://projects.eao.gov.bc.ca/p/588510b4aaecd9001b81467b/project-details. …2 - 2 -
The EAO will now provide the referral materials to Ministers for their decision on whether or not to issue an Environmental Assessment Certificate for Morrison. To ensure administrative and procedural fairness of the decision, the referral materials will be limited to: materials that were provided to the then-Ministers as part of the previous 2015 decision; the 2015 Ministers’ reasons for decision that led to the Further Assessment Order, and; a covering memo listing the materials within.
The EAO will not be providing a new recommendation to the Ministers. Once the decision package has been provided to Ministers, the Ministers decision will be subject to a legislated timeline of 45 days.
I will keep you informed of any next steps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Yours truly, Katherine St James
Project Assessment Director, EAO
