Dear Paov,
On October 13, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the federal Impact Assessment Act (IAA) is unconstitutional. So what happens now?
You’re invited to join West Coast Environmental Law and our colleagues for two upcoming webinars to delve into the Court’s ruling, its implications, and what comes next.
Assessing the Impact: Ottawa, Alberta, and next steps for the Impact Assessment Act
Monday, Oct. 30
10:00-11:00am PT / 1:00-2:00pm ET
Join top environmental lawyers Anna Johnston and Stephen Hazell to hear why the Court’s ruling wasn't the outcome Alberta was hoping for, and what Ottawa needs to do to get the Impact Assessment Act back in action.
Anna and Stephen will share their in-depth analysis and perspectives on the SCC’s opinion, as well as key takeaways for organizations, practitioners and individuals engaging with federal impact assessment.
Presenters:Anna Johnston, Staff Lawyer, WCEL
Stephen Hazell, Emeritus Counsel, Nature Canada

How will the Court’s opinion impact the future of climate policy in Canada, especially as the government faces pushback from provinces?
