Environmental impact assessment in Canada / W.J. Couch, J.F. Herity, R.E. Munn.: En105-71/6-1981E-PDF
"This paper presents an examination of Canadian approaches to environmental impact assessment. First we shall examine the factors existing in the late 1960's that led to the formal adoption of an EIA process in Canada in 1973. Then we shall look briefly at the nature of Canada and its government structures so as to understand how the various procedures have evolved. This will lead into a discussion of the key features of Canadian EIA processes, from project screening to formal public review; the relationship of EIA to planning and regulatory activity; the status of scientific methodology and the people-related issues of social impact assessment and public participation."--Introd.
