95.13. The Administration must prepare a strategic environmental assessment scoping report aimed at defining the scope, nature and extent of the public consultations to be carried out and which must include any other information prescribed by government regulation.
The report is submitted to the Strategic Environmental Assessment Advisory Committee for its opinion, and the Committee must make its comments to the Administration in writing within the time prescribed by government regulation. If, in the Committee’s opinion, the scoping report is unsatisfactory, the Administration must amend it in light of the Committee’s comments.
The Minister may, at the Committee’s request, require expert opinions from the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement in order to assist the Committee in evaluating the scoping report.
A copy of the final scoping report is sent to the Committee and to the Minister.
