The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) (French: Agence canadienne d’évaluation environnementale) is the Government of Canada agency that reports to the federal Minister of the Environment. The Agency provides leadership and serves as a centre of expertise for federal environmental assessment in accordance with the ''Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012'' (CEAA 2012). It is responsible for the overall administration of the federal environmental assessment process, except for projects regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission or the National Energy Board. In this context, the Agency’s main responsibilities in conducting the environmental assessment (EA) process are to encourage public participation; promote high-quality assessment through training and guidance; provide administrative and advisory support for review panels; promote the use of strategic environmental assessment as a key tool to support sustainable decision making; and act as the Crown Consultation Coordinator to integrate the Government of Canada's Aboriginal consultation activities into the EA processes it manages to the greatest extent possible. == History == The Agency was established in 1994 prior to the adoption of the ''Canadian Environmental Assessment Act'' (the Act) in 1995 by the Parliament of Canada.() The 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26, 2012, the Government introduced Bill C-38, the ''Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act'', a provision of which repealed the ''Canadian Environmental Assessment Act'', replacing it with a new ''Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012''. Bill C-38 received Royal Assent on June 29, 2012 and came into force on July 6, 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
