Hello Wikipedians,
For transparency purpose: I'm an employee of the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and I'm new to editing things in Wikipedia
I would like to propose a major content update to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada page following the coming into force of Bill C-69 on August 28, 2019.
That being said, see below the update I would like to propose.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (precursor to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada) was established in 1994 prior to the adoption of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act in 1995 by the Parliament of Canada [1] . The Canadian Environmental Assessment Act is the legal basis for the federal environmental assessment process in Canada.
On April 26, 2012, the Government introduced Bill C-38, the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act, a provision of which repealed the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, replacing it with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012. Bill C-38 received Royal Assent on June 29, 2012, and came into force on July 6, 2012. [2]
On February 8, 2018, the Government introduced Bill C-69, an Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts [3]. Bill C-69 received Royal Assent on June 21, 2019 [4]. The Impact Assessment Act came into force on August 28, 2019, creating the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and repealing the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 [5].
The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada’s role is to provide Canadians with federal “impact assessments that contribute to informed decision making on major projects, in support of sustainable development” [6].
The Agency leads all federal impact assessments. “The Agency works with other bodies like the Canada Energy Regulator (formerly the National Energy Board), the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Offshore Boards and other federal departments and agencies. The Agency also works in cooperation with provinces and territories, Indigenous jurisdictions, environmental organizations and industry.” [7]
In this context, the Agency’s main responsibilities in conducting impact assessments are to:
The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada has approximately 475 employees in its seven offices across Canada:
The Impact Assessment Process Overview provides:
The Practitioner’s Guide to Federal Impact Assessments provides guidance products on the various phases of the process: planning, impact statement, impact assessment, decision-making as well as Indigenous participation, engagement and public participation.
Thank you for you consideration! Please let me know if I did something wrong or haven't followed the protocol. Scleroux ( talk) 8:15, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

As well as removing redundant categories I moved the article from Category:Environment Canada to Category:Environment of Canada. It seems that the Environmental Assessment Agency does not come under the purview of Environment Canada. -- Alan Liefting ( talk) - 07:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved per lack of objection ( closed by non-admin page mover) DannyS712 ( talk) 06:31, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency → Impact Assessment Agency (Canada) – Following the coming into force of the applicable statute that saw the Impact Assessment Agency replace the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, on the advice of Brad, I opted to pursue a WP:RM#CM discussion to decide on the best name to use. On WP:ON, this seems appropriate, with the Canada disambiguation qualifier likely consistent with naming conventions. Additionally, the WP:ON is likely to be the commonly used name.

Hello Wikipedians,
For transparency purpose: I'm an employee of the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and I'm new to editing things in Wikipedia
I would like to propose a major content update to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada page following the coming into force of Bill C-69 on August 28, 2019.
First, I would like to clarify that the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada is not a division of Environment and Climate Change Canada. However, it is part of the Environmental portfolio and it does report to the federal Minister of the Environment.
That being said, see below the update I would like to propose.
