SUMMARY
Le texte modifie la Loi sur l’évaluation environnementale et socioéconomique au Yukon, notamment en abrogeant les dispositions qui :
a) autorisent le ministre fédéral à déléguer au ministre territorial tout ou partie des attributions que lui confère la loi;
b) prévoient qu’un projet de développement ou un ouvrage pour lequel une autorisation est renouvelée ou modifiée ne fait pas l’objet d’une nouvelle évaluation lorsque aucun changement important n’a été apporté au projet tel qu’il a été évalué préalablement;
c) prévoient des délais relativement au processus d’évaluation;
d) autorisent le ministre fédéral à donner des instructions générales obligatoires à l’Office d’évaluation environnementale et socioéconomique du Yukon.
This enactment amends the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act, in particular by repealing the provisions
(a) that authorize the federal minister to delegate any of his or her powers, duties and functions under that Act to the territorial minister;
(b) that exempt projects and existing projects from the requirement of a new assessment when an authorization is renewed or amended and there are no significant changes to the original project as previously assessed;
(c) that establish time limits for assessments; and
(d) that authorize the federal minister to issue binding policy directions to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board.
Le texte modifie également la Loi sur l’amélioration de la réglementation au Yukon et au Nunavut en abrogeant la disposition transitoire relative à l’application de dispositions — prévoyant des délais — édictées par cette loi à tout projet de développement dont l’examen, la préétude ou l’étude avait été entrepris avant l’entrée en vigueur de cette loi et pour lequel aucune décision n’avait encore été prise.
The enactment also amends the Yukon and Nunavut Regulatory Improvement Act by repealing the transitional provision relating to the application of time limit provisions enacted by that Act to projects in respect of which the evaluation, screening or review had begun before that Act came into force but for which no decision had yet been made.
