Federal versus provincialLikely of interest to absolutely nobody but me, but the interaction (and the history of that interaction) of provincial and federal environmental assessments is pertinent to what's going on here. I had been thinking that the provincial approval would basically guarantee federal approval - and I still hope that's a major factor - but the federal process, though it considers everything, is triggered (made legal) by issues more generally federal (like fisheries and wildlife - those annoying caribou).
