What it does

This program ensures the effective delivery of the Agency’s mandate to conduct assessments under the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012. This is achieved through the development and promotion of policies and practices for federal assessments, conduct of high quality assessments of designated projects, and monitoring and verification of compliance with mitigation measures, thereby preventing or reducing adverse effects while supporting economic growth. The program provides support for the conduct of assessments through various means, such as assessments by review panel, regional and strategic assessments, designation requests, and federal-provincial agreements. The Agency works with other jurisdictions to avoid duplication of assessment activities (where possible) to increase efficiency and provide certainty for all participants. The Agency ensures that assessment processes include meaningful participation of the public and Indigenous groups, with financial support made available through the Participant Funding Program. The Agency enables continuous improvement through research, monitoring, analysis, and advice. Recommendations will inform the development of new regulatory and policy approaches, as well as the revision of guidance, training and knowledge-based instruments for practitioners. This program uses funding from the following transfer payment programs: Impact Assessment-related Research Program, Participant Funding Program.
