Construction association 'thrilled' Impact Assessment Act ruled unconstitutional

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Independent Contractors and Businesses Association are applauding a Supreme Court of Canada ruling this morning that found the Impact Assessment Act to be unconstitutional.

“We are thrilled with this decision and what it means for the men and women who work in the construction and energy industries, their families, and every Canadian," said ICBA president Chris Gardner. CAPP, which represents Canadian oil and natural gas producers, was an intervener in the case, supporting Alberta's position that Ottawa had over-stepped its authority with the act. Alberta raised concerns that the act might unfairly squelch energy development in the province.
