Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) is a federal agency responsible for assessing the environmental impacts of proposed projects in Canada. It ensures that environmental factors are considered before decisions are made on major projects, such as mining, energy, and infrastructure developments. The agency aims to protect the environment while promoting sustainable development.
CEAA conducts assessments in collaboration with various stakeholders, including Indigenous communities, provincial governments, and the public. The agency follows the guidelines set out in the Impact Assessment Act, which outlines the process for evaluating potential environmental effects and ensuring transparency in decision-making.
