Description
Evaluates the extent to which the Environmental Assessment Expert Panel's review of existing regulatory processes and Canada's response in the form of proposed legislation in Bill C-69 actually addressed its duty to consult. Argues that the examination of documents shows that government's duty has not been fulfilled in either spirit or practice.
