The Nasty Game:
|
Terms:
This independent public report was commissioned by the Walter & Duncan Gordon Foundation in Toronto in September 1996. It looks at the troubled history and repeated failings of federal environmental assessment in Canada.
Over a three-month period, the author reviewed most of the significant literature on the topic and interviewed more than 50 scientists, lawyers, bureaucrats, business people, environmentalists and consultants. Because this report was specifically written to open and focus public debate, it is brief, blunt and referenced. It also includes suggestions and ideas for debate and reform. The conclusions are solely those of the author, who has written about economic and environmental issues for two decades.
