520 |a"Government of Canada policy requires departments to consult with Canadians and consider their interests and concerns when establishing priorities, developing policies and regulations, and planning and implementing programs and services. Beyond the need to comply with Government of Canada policy, Environment Canada (EC) has specific legal responsibilities to notify, consult and otherwise engage Canadians as outlined in specific Acts (such as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 [CEPA 1999] and Species at Risk Act [SARA]). In addition, EC is obligated to consult with Aboriginal governments and communities when contemplated Crown conduct may have an impact on asserted or established Aboriginal or Treaty rights, or where contractual obligation exists. For example, land claims and self-government agreements typically specify requirements and processes to consult on specific matters. The purpose of this audit was to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the public consultation process. The audit scope included consultation activities that respond to EC statutory, legal duty to consult, and good governance requirements. The audit examined consultations with Aboriginal peoples, environmental non-governmental organizations, business and industry, and civil society groups. The audit covered the period between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. Audit fieldwork was completed in August 2013"--Executive summary, page i.
